| Abstract: | We analyze theoretically spatial structures appearing in the far diffraction zone of the electromagnetic field emitted in the cavityless parametric down-conversion. We investigate in detail the spatial correlation functions of intensity and demonstrate the existence of strong quantum correlations between the regions of the far field symmetrical with respect to the optical axis. Our simplified model allows us to obtain analytical results for some limiting cases. We demonstrate that in the limit of small diffraction and ideal quantum efficiency of photodetection the noise reduction in the photocurrent difference between symmetrical regions in the far diffraction field becomes complete at zero frequency of photocurrent fluctuations.
