摘要：

A fourth-order Young interference experiment was done to demonstrate a practical way to measure the de Broglie wavelength of a two-photon Li ave packet, 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 tno-photon beam we demonstrate that it is possible to measure the de Bruglie wavelength of the single-photon constituents of the two-photon wave packet, the de Broglie wavelength of the two-photon wave packet as a whole and an ill defined intermediate de Broglie wavelength between the two cases.
