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.
