Biphotons can be used for a variety of applications in metrology, imaging or in quantum mechanics. In this Poster we present investigations of the transversal correlations of biphotons generated from type II parametric down conversion (PDC). To enhance the spatial correlations the diameter of the pump beam can be increased and small apertures in the experimental setup should be avoided [1]. To investigate the spatial correlations, two different types of laser sources, a pico second laser and a cw laser, and different transversal laser modes were applied to pump the PDC process. Higher TEM modes were generated by a spatial light modulator. The results of the measurements are reported.
