✦ Synopsis

A two-photon collinear beam is generated by type II spontaneous parametric down-conversion. By modifying the transverse field profile of the pump laser beam that generates the two-photon beam we measured the de Broglie wavelength of the two-photon wave packet as a whole and the de Broglie wavelength of the single-photon constituents of the two-photon wave packet.
