1. General description of two-photon states In order to obtain more convenient units, the filter in momentum is defined in a different way than the filter in frequency. While Bs,i → 0 implies a single frequency collection, the condition for a single q vector collection is ws,i → ∞. Finally, after all the approximations and taking into account the filters, the mode function equation 1.12 becomes Φ(qs, Ωs, qi, Ωi) ∝ exp − w2 p 4 ∆20 − w2 p 4 ∆21 × exp − (γL)2 4 ∆2k − T 2 0 4 (Ωs + Ωi) 2 × exp − w2 s 2 q2 s − w2 i 2 q2 i − 1 2B2 Ω s 2 s − 1 2B2 Ω i 2 i . (1.34) The approximations listed in this chapter were introduced by several authors, and can be found for example in references [39, 40, 30]. In reference [41], we introduced a novel matrix notation based on the simplified mode function equation 1.34. The next section explains the details and the advantages of that notation. 1.4 The mode function in matrix form The argument of the exponential function in equation 1.34 is a second order polynomial of the mode function variables. Such a function can be written in matrix form, as is shown in appendix A. The mode function then becomes Φ(qs, Ωs, qi, Ωi) ∝ exp − 1 2 xt Ax (1.35) where all the parameters of the spdc process are contained in A, a positivedefinite real 6 × 6 matrix given by A = 1 ⎛ a ⎜ h ⎜ i 2 ⎜ j ⎝ k h b m n p i m c s t j n s d v k p t v f l r u w z ⎞ ⎟ , ⎟ ⎠ (1.36) l r u w z g x is the vector including all variables of the mode function, defined as ⎛ ⎞ ⎜ x = ⎜ ⎝ q x s q y s q x i q y i Ωs Ωi ⎟ , (1.37) ⎟ ⎠ and x t is the transpose of x. This matrix representation of the mode function, introduced in reference [41], is an important result of this thesis. The use of this notation reduces the calculation time for integrals over the mode function, 12
1.4. The mode function in matrix form and allows to solve some of those integrals analytically. For instance, the mode function normalization requires six integrals over the modulus square of the mode function. As appendix B shows, the matrix notation provides a way to calculate the normalization constant analytically, dx exp − 1 2 xt (2A)x and thus the normalized mode function reads = Φ(qs, Ωs, qi, Ωi) = [det(2A)]1/4 (2π) 3/2 (2π) 3 , (1.38) [det(2A)] 1/2 exp − 1 2 xt Ax . (1.39) In the same way, many other integrals over the mode function can be solved analytically using the matrix representation of the mode function. Conclusion The two-photon mode function can be written in a matrix form after a series of approximations. The matrix notation makes it possible to calculate several features of the down-conversion photons analytically, and reduces the numerical calculation time of others. The next chapter describes the different correlations in the two-photon state using the purity as a correlation indicator. The use of the approximate mode function in matrix notation makes it possible to find an analytical expression for the purity, and to study the effect of the different parameters on it. 13
