Multimode Hong-Ou-Mandel interference
S. P. Walborn, A. N. de Oliveira, S. Pádua, C. H. Monken
abstract: We consider multimode two-photon interference at a beam splitter by photons
created by spontaneous parametric down-conversion. The resulting interference
pattern is shown to depend upon the transverse spatial symmetry of the pump
beam. In an experiment, we employ the first-order Hermite-Gaussian modes in
order to show that, by manipulating the pump beam, one can control the
resulting two-photon interference behavior. We expect these results to play an
important role in the engineering of quantum states of light for use in quantum
information processing and quantum imaging.
