Parametric down-conversion (PDC) is one of the sources to generate entangled photon pairs and twin beams, which have many applications in quantum metrology and quantum information. It is well known that type-I PDC usually has a specific X-shape wavelength-angle spectra. Meanwhile, it has been shown that in the negative group velocity dispersion range PDC has a ring-shaped wavelength-angle spectrum, which is restricted in both variables [1]. This means that the first-order correlation function of PDC has coupled spatiotemporal dependence (is not just a function on time or space, or a product of two functions). In this work, we measure the first-order correlation function of this unusual PDC showing that a temporal delay can be compensated by a spatial displacement.
