a Schematic drawing of the HOM setup as described in the text. b Schematic showing the individual contributions from the four ways in which coincidences can occur. U (L) indicates the upper (lower) arm was taken for a coincidence event. Blue solid curves stand for cross-polarised coincidences, whereas red solid (dashed) curves stand for co-polarised coincidences where the coherence time was set equal to four times the transition lifetime (exactly the transition lifetime). c HOM interference on the timescale of the elastically scattered photon coherence time. The colour scale indicates simulated values for α as described in the text. d HOM interference on the timescale of the inelastically scattered photon coherence time.
