Photon Pair Generation via Spontaneous Four-Wave Mixing in Birefringent Optical Fibers

We experimentally demonstrate photon pair production in standard single-mode optical fibers via spontaneous four-wave mixing. The process utilizes birefringent phase matching to control the photon pair joint spectral structure. © 2009 Optical Society of America.
