Abstract: The distance dependence of the probability of observing two photons in a waveguide is investigated and the Glauber correlation functions of the entangled photons are considered. First the case of a hollow waveguide with modal dispersion is treated in detail: the spatial and temporal dependence of the correlation functions is evaluated and the distance dependence of the probability of observing two photons upper bounds and asymptotic expressions valid for large distances are derived. Second the generalization to a real fibre with both material and modal dispersion, allowing dispersion shift, is discussed.
