Quantum manipulation of biphoton spectral distributions in a 2D frequency space toward arbitrary shaping of a
Abstract:
Arbitrary shaping of optical waveform is fundamental interest from basic science to advanced optical technologies. However, it is still challenging task for shaping a biphoton wave packet. Here we experimentally manipulate the spectrum and phase of a biphoton wave packet in a two-dimensional frequency space. The spectrum is shaped by adjusting the temperature of the crystal, and the phase is controlled by tilting the dispersive glass plate. The manipulating effects are confirmed by measuring the two-photon spectral intensity (TSI) and the Hong-Ou-Mandel (HOM) interference patterns. The technique in this work paves the way for arbitrary shaping of a multi-photon wave packet in a quantum manner.

Construction of Frequency Distribution
First, make a table with two columns—one with the title of the data that needs to be organized, and the other column for frequency. [Draw a third column for tally marks if needed]. Then, take a look at the items given in the data set and decide if an ungrouped frequency distribution table or a grouped frequency distribution table would be more suitable. If there are large sets of different values, then it is...
