Abstract
We report a scheme for generating ultrabroadband two-photon states by spontaneous parametric downconversion (SPDC) using randomly aperiodically poled crystals designed with an optimization algorithm based on the Monte Carlo–Metropolis method with simulated annealing. A particular SPDC source is discussed, showing results of the spectral and temporal properties of the emitted two-photon states, obtaining almost transform-limited SPDC biphoton wave packets. We also analyze the effect of fabrication errors on the SPDC.
