Counter-propagating spontaneous four wave mixing: photon-pair factorability and ultra-narrowband single photons

We introduce a new kind of spontaneous four wave mixing process for the generation of photon pairs, in which the four waves involved counter-propagate in a guided-wave ${\chi }^{(3)}$ medium; we refer to this process as counter-propagating spontaneous four wave mixing (CP-SFWM). We show that for the...
