Abstract: The problem of generating a narrow-band biphoton field during spontaneous parametric down-conversion of light in a quadratic nonlinear medium in a cavity is discussed. The second-order correlation function of the field produced by the optical parametric oscillator below threshold is measured.

Keywords: biphoton, spontaneous parametric down-conversion, cavity.
