Abstract
We report the spectral properties of broadband biphotons generated by pulsed type-II spontaneous parametric down-conversion based on a periodically poled MgO-doped stoichiometric LiTaO3 (PPMgSLT). Spectroscopic and interferometric measurements were used to characterize the biphoton source. For the spectroscopic measurements, we used conventional spectroscopy and joint spectral intensity measurements. For the interferometric measurements, sum- and difference-frequency two-photon interference experiments were performed to estimate the spectral correlation and to ensure the broadband nature of biphotons, respectively. When using a picosecond Ti:sapphire as a pump source, the spectral width of biphotons was over 40 nm. Finally, we demonstrated the relationship between the two-photon interference visibility and the symmetricity of the joint spectral distribution.
