Abstract
The paper describes a technique for the spontaneous generation of chirped biphotons and for the compression of these photons to transform limited biphotons. At maximum bandwidth the biphoton is a single-cycle in length and has the waveform of a classical single-cycle pulse. Without compression, chirped biphotons still exhibit a Hong- Ou-Mandel dip with a width approximately equal to the inverse spectral width of the biphoton.
