Abstract

We conceived an optical generator leading to the production of $3\times {10}^{13}$ triple photons per pulse with a full-width duration of $88\mathrm{ps}$ at $1∕e^2$, by using a third-order optical parametric interaction phase-matched in a KTP crystal and pumped at $532\mathrm{nm}$. The triple photon generation is stimulated by two photons orthogonally polarized emitted by a homemade optical parametric oscillator emitting at $1665\mathrm{nm}$. The energy generated at $1474\mathrm{nm}$ is well modelized by an analytical model based on Jacobi elliptic functions. These results open the way to new quantum measurement relative to Greenberger–Horne–Zeilinger state of light.
