contents We consider an interferometer based on the concept of induced coherence, where two photons that originate in different second-order nonlinear crystals can interfere. We derive a complementarity relationship that links the first-order coherence between the two interfering photons with a parameter that quantifies the distinguishing information regarding the nonlinear crystal where they originated. We show that the derived relationship goes beyond the single-photon regime and is valid for any photon-flux rate generated. We report experimental results in the low photon-flux regime that confirm the validity of the derived complementarity relationship.
