Generation of entangled photon pairs using small-coherence-time continuous wave pump lasers.
We address the generation of entangled photon pairs by parametric downconversion from solid state cw lasers with small coherence time. We consider a compact and low-cost setup based on a two-crystal scheme with type-I phase matching. We reconstruct the full density matrix by quantum tomography and analyze in detail the entanglement properties of the generated state as a function of the crystal'...
متن کاملTime-resolved up-conversion of entangled photon pairs.
In the process of spontaneous parametric down-conversion, photons from a pump field are converted to signal and idler photon pairs in a nonlinear crystal. The reversed process, or up-conversion of these pairs back to single photons in a second crystal, is also possible. Here, we present experimental measurements of the up-conversion rate with a controlled time delay introduced between the signa...
متن کاملNonlocal pulse shaping with entangled photon pairs.
Nonlocal shaping effects in the time or spectral profiles of an entangled photon pair emerging from a pulsed parametric down-converter are observed by spectrally or temporally filtering one of the twin beams. In particular, we demonstrate the appearance of fourth-order ("ghost") interference fringes in the spectrum of one beam conditioned by photodetection at the output of an unbalanced Michels...
متن کاملGeneration of hyperentangled photon pairs.
We experimentally demonstrate the first quantum system entangled in every degree of freedom (hyperentangled). Using pairs of photons produced in spontaneous parametric down-conversion, we verify entanglement by observing a Bell-type inequality violation in each degree of freedom: polarization, spatial mode, and time energy. We also produce and characterize maximally hyperentangled states and no...
متن کاملFiber-based source of photon pairs at telecom band with high temporal coherence and brightness for quantum information processing.
We experimentally demonstrate a bright pulsed source of correlated photon pairs at the 1550 nm telecom band by pumping 300 m dispersion-shifted fiber with a 4 ps pulse train. We investigate the coherence property of the source by measuring the second-order intensity correlation function g(2) of individual signal (idler) photons. A preliminary Hong-Ou-Mandel-type two-photon interference experime...
