I will put my comment as an answer.

Apart from using a deprecated jQuery API, what others didn't point out is the following:

What you are doing in the below line:

contentType: 'application/json; charset=utf-8',

is that you are promising the server that the HTTP entity will be a JSON-string, which is not the case. It is actually the usual percentile-encoded string. (a=b&c=d&e=f).

If you remove that line, the browser sends a default value Content-Type as application/x-www-url-form-encoded. That would trigger PHP to parse the HTTP entity as such and give you as the $_REQUEST array properly populated.
