Abstract

Two-photon interference of multimode two-photon pairs produced by an optical parametric oscillator has been observed with an unbalanced interferometer. The time correlation between the multimode two photons has a multipeaked structure. This property of the multimode two-photon state induces two-photon interference depending on the delay time.
