Correlated photons in one-dimensional waveguides
Matthias Moeferdt, Peter Schmitteckert, Kurt Busch · Optics Letters · 2013
We study two-photon transport in a one-dimensional waveguide with a side-coupled two-level system. Depending on the momentum of the incoming photons, we find that the nature of the scattering process changes considerably. We further show that bunching behavior can be found in the scattered light. As a result, we find that the waveguide dispersion has a strong influence on the photon correlations. By modifying the momentum of the pulse, the nature of the correlations can therefore be altered or optimized.
