Theory of parametric frequency down conversion of light
Abstract
A theoretical study is made of the process in which incident pump photons that interact with a nonlinear medium (such as a crystal lacking inversion symmetry) are spontaneously split into lower-frequency signal and idler photons. The down-converted fields are quantized and described by a continuum of modes, a subset of which interacts with each photodetector. It is shown that when two ideal photodetectors are appropriately located so that they receive the conjugate signal and idler photons, then the joint probability of two-photon detection by the two detectors can equal the single-photon detection probability. The time correlation between the two detected photons is shown to be limited either by the resolving time of the detectors, or by the bandwidth of the down-converted light, and to be independent of the coherence time of the pump field or of the length of the nonlinear medium. These conclusions are compared with the results of recent experiments.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
