Spectral bi-photon wave-packet shaping

We have a new paper in Optics Express, “Engineered optical nonlinearity for quantum light sources“. We demonstrate a simple technique of longitudinal shaping of bi-photon wavepackets created via spontaneous parametric downconversion (SPDC). In a standard SPDC experiment, wavepackets have a sinc frequency spectrum. This is due to the fact that a crystal has finite length […]
