Observations of Dispersion Cancellation of Entangled Photon Pairs
Kevin A. O’Donnell · Physical Review Letters · 2011
An experimental study of the dispersion cancellation occurring in frequency-entangled photon pairs is presented. The approach uses time-resolved up-conversion of the pairs, which has temporal resolution at the femtosecond level, and group-delay dispersion sensitivity of $\ensuremath{\approx}20\text{ }\text{ }{\mathrm{fs}}^{2}$ under experimental conditions. The cancellation is demonstrated with dispersion stronger than $\ifmmode\pm\else\textpm\fi{}{10}^{3}\text{ }\text{ }{\mathrm{fs}}^{2}$ in the signal ($\ensuremath{-}$) and idler ($+$) modes.
