19. The photon-pair production rate is deduced from the ratio between the detected photons produced via FPS and those produced via RS at the corresponding pump power. This ratio can be obtained by measuring the single counts in the signal (idler)) channel, Ns(i), as a function of the number of pump photons per pulse, Np, and by fitting the measured data with Ns(i) = s1 Np + s2 Np2, where s1 and s2 are the linear and quadratic scattering coefficients, which respectively determine the strength of the RS and the FPS. Detailed information can be found in Fig. 5 of Ref.
