Abstract

We demonstrate the ultranarrow temporal correlation (6 fs full width half maximum) of twin beams generated by parametric down-conversion by using its reverse process, i.e., sum-frequency generation. The result relies on an achromatic imaging of a huge bandwidth of twin beams and on a careful control of their spatial degrees of freedom. The detrimental effects of spatial filtering and imperfect imaging are shown, along with the theoretical model used to describe the results.
