Double‐mode Two‐photon Absorption and Enhanced Photon Antibunching Due to Interference
A. Bandilla, H.‐H. Ritze · Annalen der Physik · 1981
Abstract Inspired by results of interfering signal and idler from a nondegenerate parametric amplifier we investigate the photon statistics of the resulting field after interference of two components subjected to double‐mode two‐photon absorption. This absorption process leads to a strong correlation of the participating modes, which can be used to generate fields with photon antibunching in interference experiments. In addition the photon number can be made small, which produces enhanced antibunching.
