JETP Letters Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Biphoton fields obtained in spontaneous parametric down-conversion are among the main tools of modern quantum optics. Temporal correlations between photons in the pair play a key role; the broader the spectrum of the biphoton field, the stronger the correlations. Broadband biphoton fields and their main characteristics have been described in detail, their possible applications have been listed, and the main methods of their generation have been presented.

Notes

  1. That is, in a crystal with the single anisotropy axis of the refractive index, where the phase velocity of the extraordinary (subscript e) wave is higher than the phase velocity of the ordinary (subscript o) wave.

  2. In the case of the broadband pulsed pump, the shape of the distribution pω can differ from that shown in Fig. 2a. The distributions can have circular and elliptical shapes with the major axis in the direction where ωs = ωi [27–32]. However, these cases are beyond the scope of this work.
