Interferometry of spontaneous parametric light scattering

The interference of biphotonic light produced in the process of spontaneous parametric scattering (SPS) in two spatially separated non-centrally symmetric crystals is considered. A scheme of the nonlinear Mach—Zehnder interferometer is realised. It is shown that in this case, the frequency-angular intensity distribution in the far-field zone (the SPS spectrum) contains information not only on non-centrally symmetric crystals, where biphotonic fields are created, but also on the optical properties of the medium located between the scattering crystals. The algorithms for the determination of the dispersion law in this medium are developed.
