چکیده
A broadband source of polarization entangled photons based on type-II spontaneous parametric down conversion from a chirped PPKTP crystal is presented. With numerical simulation and experimental evaluation, we report a source of broadband polarization entangled states with a bandwidth of approximately 125 nm for use in quantum interferometry. The technique has the potential to become a basis for the development of flexible broadband sources with designed spectral properties.

Bright source of polarization-entangled photons using a PPKTP pumped by a broadband multi-mode diode laser.
We report a bright source of polarization-entangled photon pairs using spontaneous parametric down-conversion (SPDC) in a 10 mm long type-II PPKTP crystal pumped by a broadband multi-mode diode laser with the coherence length of 330 μm. Ordinarily, the huge mismatch between the pump coherence length and the PPKTP length would degrade the polarization entanglement completely. By employing the un...
متن کاملUltrafast sources of entangled photons for quantum information processing
Recent advances in quantum information processing (QIP) have enabled practical applications of quantum mechanics in various fields such as cryptography, computation, and metrology. Most of these applications use photons as carriers of quantum information. Therefore, engineering the quantum state of photons is essential for the realization of novel QIP schemes. A practical and flexible technique...
متن کاملGeneration of polarization entangled photon pairs by a single crystal interferometric source pumped by femtosecond laser pulses
Photon pairs, highly entangled in polarization have been generated under femtosecond laser pulse excitation by a type I crystal source, operating in a single arm interferometric scheme. The relevant effects of temporal walk-off existing in these conditions between the ordinary and extraordinary photons were experimentally investigated. By introducing a suitable temporal compensation between the...
متن کاملBright phase-stable broadband fiber-based source of polarization-entangled photon pairs
We describe an achromatic, phase-stable, broadband source of polarization-entangled photon pairs with high spectral brightness that uses four-wave mixing in a fiber Sagnac interferometer. We achieved a polarizationentangled two-photon coincidence rate of 7 kHz per 0.5 THz 0.9 nm of bandwidth per 300 W of average pump power. At this rate, we observed two-photon fringe interference visibilities g...
متن کاملEntangled photon apparatus for the undergraduate laboratory
We present detailed instructions for constructing and operating an apparatus to produce and detect polarization-entangled photons. The source operates by type I spontaneous parametric downconversion in a two-crystal geometry. Photons are detected in coincidence by single-photon counting modules and show strong angular and polarization correlations. We observe more than 100 entangled photon pair...
