Experimentally Manipulating Hong-Ou-Mandel Interference with Filters
Based on Braczyk's theoretical work, the spectral function of interference filter is considered, and a more conventional formula of Hong-Ou-Mandel interference coincidence probability is derived, which improves the controllability of interference experiment. The HOM interference is studied experimentally by using interference filters with different bandwidths, and the experimental results are close to the theoretical prediction. The comparison of experimental data and theoretical simulation shows that the interference filter with different bandwidth can flexibly adjust the interference curve and obtain higher coincidence counting rate and interference visibility. The interference visibility measured in the experiment is higher than 97%, and the best case is 99.9%, which shows the reliability of the experimental scheme. The study could provide references for similar emperiments on quantum interferences.
