AI Article Synopsis
- The study explores how photon pairs are generated through a process called spontaneous four-wave mixing in a specific type of optical fiber that is liquid-filled and microstructured.
- It demonstrates the capability to control important properties like wavelength, group velocity, and bandwidth of the produced two-photon states.
- The focus is on generating a factorable state, which maintains no correlation between the two photons and enables the creation of a single-photon state without needing complex filtering techniques.
Article Abstract
We theoretically study the generation of photon pairs via spontaneous four-wave mixing (SFWM) in a liquid-filled microstructured suspended-core optical fiber. We show that it is possible to control the wavelength, group velocity, and bandwidths of the two-photon states. Our proposed fiber structure shows a large number of degrees of freedom to engineer the two-photon state. Here, we focus on the factorable state, which shows no spectral correlation in the two-photon components of the state, and allows the heralding of a single-photon pure state without the need for spectral post-filtering.
