“…In this paper we study the process of spontaneous fourwave mixing in optical fibers, in which nonlinear phenomena originate from the third-order susceptibility χ (3) . In this process, two photons (one from each of two pump fields E 1 and E 2 ) can be jointly annihilated to give rise to the emission of a photon-pair comprised of one photon in the signal modeÊ s and one photon in the idler modê E i .…”

“…An important distinction among spontaneous parametric photon-pair sources is whether they are based on second-order non-linearities in crystals [3], or on third-order non-linearities, often in optical fibers [4,5]. In the first case, we refer to the process as spontaneous parametric downconversion (SPDC) while in the second case we refer to the process as spontaneous four-wave mixing (SFWM).…”

We study the process of co-polarized spontaneous four-wave mixing in single-mode optical fibers, with an emphasis on an analysis of the conversion efficiency. We consider both the monochromaticpumps and pulsed-pumps regimes, as well as both the degenerate-pumps and non-degenerate-pumps configurations. We present analytical expressions for the conversion efficiency, which are given in terms of double integrals. In the case of pulsed pumps we take these expressions to closed analytical form with the help of certain approximations. We present results of numerical simulations, and compare them to values obtained from our analytical expressions, for the conversion efficiency as a function of several key experimental parameters.

“…(16) The PDC process effectively takes an input photon from a pump beam and converts it into output pairs in a crystal possessing a χ (2) nonlinearity. Thus the detection of one photon can be used to indicate (or herald) the existence of the second photon, which is available for further use.…”
