Generating Entangled Two-Photon States with Coincident Frequencies
Generating Entangled Two-Photon States with Coincident Frequencies
It is shown that parametric down-conversion, with a short-duration pump pulse and a long nonlinear crystal that is appropriately phase matched, can produce a frequency-entangled biphoton state whose individual photons are coincident in frequency. Quantum interference experiments which distinguish this state from the familiar time-coincident biphoton state are described.
