Abstract
In this paper, we have studied the process of monochromatic pump light in linearly chirped Periodically Poled [Formula: see text] (PPKTP) nonlinear crystal to generate single-cycle biphotons under Quasi-Phase-Matching (QPM) conditions through a Spontaneous Parametric Down-Conversion (SPDC). A detailed analysis of the phase mismatching function reveals that in PPKTP crystals, for the proper frequency range, the phase mismatching [Formula: see text] is stable and relatively close to 0 due to the relatively stable refractive index, and therefore has a good phase matching effect. Even when the chirp rate becomes small, it is able to produce single-cycle biphotons due to the near-perfect phase matching. Of course, as the chirp rate increases, the frequency response range becomes wider, the temporal width is narrower, and the number of cycles is smaller.
