Abstract

The spatial correlation between down-converted photons allows for non-local spatial filtering when two-photon coincidences are registered. This allows one to non-locally control the visibility of interference fringes, to observe ghost images and interference patterns, and to “retrieve” a coherent quantum image from an incoherent field distribution. We show theoretically that non-local spatial filtering can lead to counter-intuitive effects when the pump beam is no longer given by a Gaussian profile. Namely, increased non-local filtering can actually decrease the visibility of interference fringes, contrary to what has been observed so far. We explain this behavior through the transverse spatial parity entanglement of the down-converted photons.

Figures (4)

Fig. 1
Fig. 1 Interference experiment considered here. The orthogonally polarized photons created by type-II SPDC are separated by a polarizing beam splitter (PBS). One photon is subject to an AMZ interferometer. The photons are registered by detectors D 1 and D 2 with square detection apertures of width 2a 1 and 2a 2, respectively. Here ϕ is an adjustable phase.
