摘要: Although the signal and idler light beams produced in process of spontaneous parametric downconversion are mutually incoherent exhibit no one-photon interference, interference effects should be observable after either or is reflected by a phase-conjugate mirror. The degree coherence can, principle, as large unity. We refer to relationship between down-conversion anticoherent introduce natural measure for anticoherence.
