See, for example, the 5 kHz nmâ1 mWâ1 brightness, with a two-photon coincidence rate of 16 kHz in a 1 nm collection bandwidth and 3.3 mW pump power, obtained in a type-II down-conversion system using periodically poled KTiOPO4; and the 0.3 kHz nmâ1 mWâ1 result using type-I down-conversion with two Î -barium borate crystals, with a two-photon coincidence rate of 2 MHz in a 25 nm collection bandwidth and 280 mW pump power. Recently, we became aware of the detection of two-photon coincidence at a rate of 273 kHz nmâ1 mwâ1 via a down-conversion process in a PPKTP bulk crystal reported by Fedrizzi, e-print arXiv:0706.2877v1.
