Generation of counterpropagating paired Stokes and anti-Stokes photons at the two-photon level in an electromagnetically induced transparency system is examined in quantum theory. In particular, we focus on the transverse effects of generated entangled photon pairs. Using first-order perturbation theory, we have studied the two-photon state including the phase matching conditions. The comparison of single photon counting and two-photon coincidence counting measurement is provided, which show some interesting properties.
