Quantum theory of degenerate $Ï^{(3)}$ two-photon state
arXiv:quant-ph/0702176
Abstract
We developed a quantum theory for degenerate $Ï^{(3)}$ two-photon state generated from optical fiber, and compared the theory predictions with an experimental result which exhibits a Hong-Ou-Mandel dip visibility of around 94%. Excellent agreement between theory and experiment has been achieved, and we attribute the missing 6% visibility mainly to spatial mode mismatch between signal and idler photons at the beamsplitter.
