  Figure 1

  Schematic of a joint intensity represented in time on the left and frequency on the right. The horizontal width of the joint temporal (spectral) amplitude is denoted by ${\mathcal{T}}_p$ (${\mathcal{B}}_c$), which is the effective pulse duration (bandwidth). The narrow horizontal width at $t_2=0$ is denoted by ${\mathcal{T}}_c=1/{\mathcal{B}}_c$ and is the coherence time of photon pairs.

  For the double-Gaussian, from left to right we plot ${\overline{G}}^{\left(1\right)}\left(t\right)/\mathrm{\Phi }$ and a few contributions from different Schmidt modes in Eq.(3.20) with the horizontal axis normalized by ${\mathcal{T}}_p^{\mathrm{DG}}$ for $\beta =0.1$, 5, and 10. In each plot the $n=0$ term is the largest Schmidt mode contribution and they get smaller as $n$ increases.

  Figure 8

  Plot of the approximate joint spectral intensity divided by its maximum value with the axes normalized by $2\pi {\mathcal{B}}_c^{\mathrm{SH}}$. The “false” contributions highlighted by the black dashed circles are due to the periodicity of the function $\widehat{u}\left(\omega \right)$ with a period $T_c$; see the discussion in the paragraph above Eq.(4.14).

  Figure 22

  From left to right we plot the joint temporal intensity, the joint spectral intensity, and the Schmidt amplitudes generated from a dual-pump spontaneous four-wave mixing process. The two pump functions are centered at the wavelengths ${\overline{\lambda }}_{\text{P1}}=1.556\mu \mathrm{m}$ and ${\overline{\lambda }}_{\text{P2}}=1.547\mu \mathrm{m}$ and each have temporal FWHM of 100ns and an energy of ${10}^3$ pJ. The generated photons are centered at ${\overline{\lambda }}_{\text{S}}=1.552\mu \mathrm{m}$ (${\overline{\omega }}_{\text{S}}/2\pi =193.164$ THz) and have a bandwidth on the order of a GHz. The ring resonator has quality factors $Q_{\text{P1}}=1529378,Q_{\text{P2}}=3844257$, and $Q_{\text{S}}=2704405$ for the three modes and a nonlinear coupling $\mathrm{\Lambda }=5$ THz [4].
