In the article managed photon pairs generation methods in lightguides with actively formed dispersion for producing a single-photon light state are discussed. Generation principle is based on of spontaneous parametric scattering or spontaneous fourwave mixing. To get the factored state, i.e. spectral and spatial correlations between daughter photons are eliminated, the usage of photonic crystal fiber, that allow to form complex frequency dispersion profiles by changing the fiber structure, is analyzed.

Modern sources based on the usage of spontaneous four-wave mixing in photonic-crystal fibers generate photon pairs in wide wavelength range. Microstructured fibers allow actively managing frequency dispersion profile. In the design of different types of photonic-crystal fibers is necessary to research the influence of microstructure on fibers properties. Nowadays one of the most perspective solutions is numerical and program modeling. Paper presents modeling of photonic-crystal fiber structures to find optimal parameters of the nonlinear medium.
