摘要：
We present an experimental investigation of two-photon interference using a continuous-wave laser. Using a Mach-Zehnder interferometer, we observe two-photon coalescence and its complementary effect, Hong-Ou- Mandel interference. We also demonstrate two-photon coalescence using a Michelson interferometer. Our work paves the way for the realization of multi-photon interference in high photon loss scenarios using continuous-wave lasers. (C) 2020 Optical Society of America
