Abstract
The generation of quantum-correlated photon pairs by spontaneous four-wave mixing (FWM) in an optical fiber is studied. After demonstrating the time correlation between signal and idler photons, the influence of spontaneous Raman scattering on extracting photon pairs is experimentally investigated. It is shown that a short pulse and a narrow filtering bandwidth are preferable for obtaining correlated photon pairs with a better signal-to-noise ratio via FWM in an optical fiber.
