Abstract
The possibility to manage and control spectral and spatial properties of optical-terahertz nonclassical fields generated in strongly nondegenerate parametric down-conversion is demonstrated experimentally using Mach-Zehnder nonlinear interferometer and analyzed theoretically in terms of Schmidt modes. The interferometer can be used for measuring the dispersion properties of different materials in the terahertz frequency range. The key point is that the information about these properties is extracted from the measurements in the optical channel due to strong frequency-angular correlations between optical and terahertz photons. The developed theoretical approach is used to predict properties of the optical-terahertz fields and photon correlations in different regimes of nondegenerate parametric down-conversion. The considered interferometer is shown to be a promising source of terahertz fields with new features and frequency-filtered terahertz Schmidt modes.
