Paper Abstract
We observed the second order correlation peak for nondegenerate spontaneous parametric down conversion (SPDC) of a
pulsed pump at 532 nm into 810 nm and 1550 nm entangled beams. We used a Si avalanche photodiode (APD) to detect
the 810 nm photons, and an InGaAs APD to detect those at 1550 nm. We defined both a visibility and signal-to-noise
ratio (SNR) based on the data, which were obtained at various pump powers. In contrast to classical imaging systems,
for which SNR increases monotonically with transmitted power, the SNR for the correlation peak in our setup exhibited
a gradual decay as the pump power increased. We derived an empirical relation for the SNR, which was inversely
proportional to the square root of pump power.
