Polarization-Entangled Photon Pairs From Periodically-Poled Crystalline Waveguides Over a Range of Frequencies
نویسندگان
چکیده
We propose a method to extend the frequency range of polarization entanglement in periodically poled rubidium-doped potassium titanyl phosphate (Rb:KTP) waveguides. Our calculations predict that output wavelengths from 1130 nm to 1257 nm may be achieved using Rb:KTP by the appropriate selection of a direction of propagation for the waveguide. The fidelity using a poling period of 1 mm is approximately 0.98.

A source of polarization-entangled photon pairs interfacing quantum memories with telecom photons
We present a source of polarization-entangled photon pairs suitable for the implementation of long-distance quantum communication protocols using quantum memories. Photon pairs with wavelengths 883 nm and 1338 nm are produced by coherently pumping two periodically poled nonlinear waveguides embedded in the arms of a polarization interferometer. Subsequent spectral filtering reduces the bandwidt...

We demonstrate a compact, robust, and highly efficient source of polarization-entangled photons, based on linear bi-directional down-conversion in a novel 'folded sandwich' configuration. Bi-directionally pumping a single periodically poled KTiOPO(4) (ppKTP) crystal with a 405-nm laser diode, we generate entangled photon pairs at the non-degenerate wavelengths 784 nm (signal) and 839 nm (idler)...
متن کاملExperimental Demonstration of a Hybrid-Quantum-Emitter Producing Individual Entangled Photon Pairs in the Telecom Band
Quantum emitters generating individual entangled photon pairs (IEPP) have significant fundamental advantages over schemes that suffer from multiple photon emission, or schemes that require post-selection techniques or the use of photon-number discriminating detectors. Quantum dots embedded within nanowires (QD-NWs) represent one of the most promising candidate for quantum emitters that provide ...
متن کاملSource of polarization entanglement in a single periodically poled KTiOPO4 crystal with overlapping emission cones.
We present a simple polarization entanglemenet source based on type-II phase-matched parametric down-conversion in periodically poled KTiOPO4. By use of noncritical phase matching in a noncollinear geometry the single-crystal source emits a cone of polarization-entangled photons. Two beams on opposite sides of the cone are selected for measurements to yield an observed flux of 820 pairs/s per m...
متن کاملPost-selection free, integrated optical source of non-degenerate, polarization entangled photon pairs.
We present an integrated source of polarization entangled photon pairs in the telecom regime, which is based on type II-phasematched parametric down-conversion (PDC) in a Ti-indiffused waveguide in periodically poled lithium niobate. The domain grating - consisting of an interlaced bi-periodic structure - is engineered to provide simultaneous phase-matching of two PDC processes, and enables the...
