- Abstract summary: We present a theoretical description of the temporal correlation of a signal-idler, signal-signal and signal-signal-idler coincidences of photons generated by continuous wave pumped cavity-enhanced spontaneous parametric down-conversion.
This enables us to resolve and analyze the multi-photon correlation functions in great detail.

- Abstract: Heralded single photon sources are the most commonly used sources for optical
quantum technology applications. There is strong demand for accurate prediction
of their spectral features and temporal correlations with ever increasing
precision. This is particularly important in connection with the intrinsically
stochastic photon-pair generation process in heralded sources. Here we present
a complete theoretical description of the temporal correlation of a
signal-idler, signal-signal and signal-signal-idler coincidences of photons
generated by continuous wave pumped cavity-enhanced spontaneous parametric
down-conversion. The theory excellently predicts the measurements, which has
been experimentally confirmed in our setup utilizing single photon detectors
with high temporal resolution. This enables us to resolve and analyze the
multi-photon correlation functions in great detail.
