We performed experiments on Hong-Ou-Mandel type two-photon interference with frequency entangled photon pairs at 1.5 ${\mu}m$ telecommunication band generated through femtosecond pulsed spontaneous parametric down-conversion. Two different angular frequencies ${\omega}_1$ and ${\omega}_2$ were selected using CWDM(coarse wavelength division multiplexing) filters at the output ports of the interferometer. The coincidence counting rates were measured with varying path-length difference between the two interferometer arms to observe the two-photon interference patterns of spatial beating. The obtained visibilities in the net coincidence were close to the theoretical limit of 100%.

One of the nonclassical effects in two-photon interference experiments, spatial quantum beating, is observed in fourth-order interference with pairs of photons produced by a spontaneous parametric down-conversion process. When photon pairs in different frequencies $\omega1$ and $\omega2$ are mixed together, and directed to two detectors, the coincidence counts exhibit a cosine modulation with difference frequency | $\omega1$- $\omega2$|. The measured coincidence counts turned out to have an interference pattern with periodicity of 10.45 ㎛ in position or 34.82fs in time delay, which corresponds to the period 2$\pi$/| $\omega1$- $\omega2$| for the beat frequency of 0.29${\times}10^{14}$Hz.

One of the main limitations to the ground- based gravitational-wave (GW) detector sensitivity is quantum noise, which is induced by vacuum fluctuations entering the detector output port. The replacement of this ordinary vacuum field with a squeezed vacuum field has proven to be effective approach to mitigate the quantum noise in the interferometer detector and it is currently used in advanced detectors. However, the current frequency-independent squeezed vacuum cannot reduce quantum radiation pressure noise at low frequencies. A possible solution to reduce quantum noise in the broadband spectrum is the injection of frequency-dependent squeezed (FDS) vacuum. We will report the current status of squeezing experiment at KASI and introduce to the EPR (Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen) entangled state of light, which can realize FDS light without the need for an additional, external cavity.
