the splitting of a pump photon in a nonlinear crystal into two lower-energy photons emitted simultaneously, a standard source of photon pairs.

In quantum optics, spontaneous parametric down-conversion refers to the splitting of a pump photon in a nonlinear crystal into two lower-energy photons emitted simultaneously, a standard source of photon pairs. This meaning comes from Burnham (1970) in Physical Review Letters.[1]
