Experimental Generation of Narrow-Band Paired Photons： from Damped Rabi Oscillation to Group Delay

We report the experimental generation of narrow-band paired photons through electromagnetically induced transparency and spontaneous four-wave mixing in a two-dimensional magneto-optical trap （2D MOT）. By controlling the optical depth of the 2D MOT from 0 to 40, the temporal length of the generated narrow-band paired photons can be varied from 50 to 900 ns. The ＇transition＇ between damped Rabi oscillation and group delay is observed undisputedly. In the damped Rabi oscillation regime, a violation factor of the Cauchy–Schwartz inequality as large as 6642 is observed. In the group delay regime, sub-MHz linewidth （～0.65 MHz） paired photons are obtained with a generation rate of about 0.8×105 s？1.     

间插取样光纤光栅多通道色散补偿器

对间插取样光纤光栅（ISFBG）进行了理论分析和仿真,给出了ISFBG的折射率表达式,提出了一种在较低的折射率调制深度条件下实现通道间平坦度较好的色散补偿器的制作方法.实验制作了由两个取样光纤光栅间插而成的10通道色散补偿器,其时延抖动大都小于20 ps,通道间平坦度小于1 dB.
