Abstract
Two beams of collinear type-I biphotons generated via spontaneous parametri c down-conversion (SPDC) from coherent pump beams are transformed without a loss into a state of correlated photons with orthogonal (in the general ca se, elliptical) polarizations. This alternative state manifests remarkable properties: while having the spectrum of type-I SPDC, it has polarization p roperties similar to type-II SPDC. To test the state, we use the anticorrel ation effect ("anticorrelation dip").
