• Authors: Hongmin Liu
• Abstract summary: We report an experiment of observation of classical double-slit interference fringes of two-photon interference. The temporal stable and clearly visible spatial-distributed pattern, i.e. first-order interference fringes, was observed. We reveal a new method to perform two-photon first-order interference, and this help to understand the nature of two-photon interference.

• Abstract: We report an experiment of observation of classical double-slit interference fringes of two-photon interference. In the experiment, a commercial continuous-wave multi-mode F-P laser diode without either mode-locked or frequency-locked is used as the light source, the density of photons is far more than the single-photon level, and the path difference of the long and short paths is far more than the longitudinal coherence length of the laser diode. The temporal stable and clearly visible spatial-distributed pattern, i.e. first-order interference fringes, was observed .Contradict to the prediction of single-photon interference mechanism, the interference happened far beyond the coherence length, the occurrence possibility and time duration of the interference fringes decrease with the reduction of mode number of the LD, and the time difference between the fringes disappearance and the light vanish is equal to the time difference of the two paths. After discussion, we came to the conclusion that the observed phenomena can be understood in time-resolved two-photon interference mechanism. We reveal a new method to perform two-photon first-order interference, and this help to understand the nature of two-photon interference and also can be useful for quantum information science.

  Hong-Ou-Mandel (HOM) interference with two independent continuous-wave coherent light sources are observed. To prepare highly indistinguishable photons from two independent laser sources, we employ high-precision frequency-stabilization techniques. An interference fringe involving two-photon beating is also observed when the frequency difference between the two interfering photons is beyond the spectral bandwidth of the individual coherent photons.

  We propose to control the visibility of the interference in the second-order coherence function by implementing a coherent time-delayed feedback mechanism. We find that the visibility for two photons emitted from a three-level system (3LS) in ladder configuration can be enhanced significantly for a wide range of parameters by slowing down the decay of the upper level of the 3LS.

  The Hong-Ou-Mandel (HOM) effect ranks among the most notable quantum interference phenomena, and is central to many applications in quantum technologies. Much less studied is when the fields share coherence (continuous-wave lasers) or mode envelope properties (pulsed lasers) We observe structured HOM interference from a continuous-wave laser via fast polarization modulation and time-resolved single photon detection fast enough to resolve these structured HOM dips.
