On the measurement of photon flux in parametric down-conversion
We report the measurement of the photons flux produced in parametric down-conversion, performed in photon counting regime with actively quenched silicon avalanche photodiodes as single photon detectors. Measurements are done with the detector in a well defined geometrical and spectral situation. By comparison of the experimental data with the theory, a

Parametric-Down Conversion of X-rays into the Optical Regime [PDF]
We report the observation of parametrically down-converted x-ray signal photons at photon energies that correspond to idler photons at optical wavelengths. The count-rate dependence on the angles of the input beam and of the detector and on the slit sizes agrees with theory within the experimental uncertainties.

Photonic circuits for generating modal, spectral, and polarization entanglement [PDF]
We consider the design of photonic circuits that make use of Ti:LiNbO(3) diffused channel waveguides to generate photons with various combinations of modal, spectral, and polarization entanglement.

Sech-squared Pockels solitons in the microresonator parametric down-conversion
We present an explicit sech-squared-soliton solution associated with the optical Pockels effect, achieved through the generation of the frequency combs via parametric down-conversion in optical microresonators with quadratic nonlinearity.

The Source of Time-Correlated Photons at 1.064 μm and its Applications
The source of time-correlated photon-pairs at 1064 nm is described. The source consists of the spontaneous parametric down-conversion (SPDC) generator, pumped by cw laser operating at 532 nm, and the measuring and control appliances.

Polarization-Angle SPDC Spectrum and its Effect on Generated Photon States
Analytical formulas for vector components of the polarization vector of spontaneous parametric down-conversion (SPDC) radiation in the degenerated regime and its dependencies on the angle between the principal sections for the pump and SPDC rays are ...

Entanglement, Complementarity, and Vacuum Fields in Spontaneous Parametric Down-Conversion
Using two crystals for spontaneous parametric down-conversion in a parallel setup, we observe two-photon interference with high visibility. The high visibility is consistent with complementarity and the absence of which-path information. The observations
