Abstract

We experimentally demonstrate a Hong-Ou-Mandel type of two-photon interference effect with a heralded single-photon state and a thermal state. The light sources in the 1550 mn telecom band are generated from two independent dispersion-shifted fibers via four-wave mixing process. The observed visibility is (82 ± 11)%. This type of interference between independent sources is crucial in quantum information process with independent qubits. © 2008 Optical Society of America.
