Experimental proposal for the generation of entangled photon triplets by
third-order spontaneous parametric downconversion in optical fibers    [PDF]

Maria Corona, Karina Garay-Palmett, Alfred U'Ren

We present an experimental proposal for the generation of photon triplets based on third-order spontaneous para- metric downconversion in thin optical fibers. Our analysis includes expressions for the quantum state, which de- scribes the photon triplets and for the generation rate in terms of all experimental parameters. We also present, for a specific source design, numerically calculated generation rates.
