Abstract

We present experimental observations of two-photon spatial bunching effect in a two-photon interference experiment by using the photon pairs produced by parametric down-conversion and the Hong-Ou-Mandel interferometer. We show that this pairing behavior is observed by coincidence detection, but gives a negligible effect for a single count.

매개하향변환과정에서 발생한 광자쌍과 Hong-Ou-Handel 간섭계를 이용한 4차 간섭실험에서 두 광자가 빔분할기에 동시에 입사할 때 빔분할기의 한 쪽 출구로만 두 광자가 쌍을 이루어 빠져나가는 두-광자의 공간적인 뭉침 효과를 관측하였다. 또한 검출기의 단일광자 시간 분해능보다 짧은 시간에 두 광자가 쌍으로 입사할 때 하나의 검출기에 의한 단일계수와 비교하였다.
