Parametric resonances and resonant delocalisation in quasi-phase matched photon-pair generation and quantum frequency conversion

The existing widely-accepted theory of photon-pair generation via spontaneous down-conversion (SPDC) in nonlinear optical crystals and waveguides is incomplete, as it fails to account for the important physical phenomenon of parametric resonances. We demonstrate that exponential gain of classical fi...
