Abstract

We report the realization of a fiber-coupled polarization entangled photon-pair source at 1310 nm based on a birefringent titanium in-diffused waveguide integrated into periodically poled lithium niobate. By making use of a dedicated and high-performance setup, we characterized the quantum properties of the pairs by measuring two-photon interference in both Hong–Ou–Mandel and standard Bell inequality configurations. For the two sets of measurements we obtained interference net visibilities reaching nearly 100%, which represent important and competitive results compared to those for the similar waveguide-based configurations already reported. These results prove the relevance of our approach as an enabling technology for long-distance quantum communication.

High-quality polarization entangled photon pair source based on a type-II PPLN waveguide

We realized a novel polarization entangled photon- pair source at 1310 nm based on a birefringent titanium in- diffused waveguide integrated on periodically poled lithium ni- obate. Using an original setup, we characterized the quantum properties of the pairs by measuring two-photon interference patterns in both Hong-Ou-Mandel and Bell inequality configura- tions. We obtained interference net visibilities of 99%, which represent the best results ever reported for similar configura- tions.

Integrated optical source of polarization entangled photons at 1310 nm

Anthony Martin, V. Cristofori, P. Aboussouan +5 more

We report the realization of a new polarization entangled photon-pair source based on a titanium-indiffused waveguide integrated on periodically poled lithium niobate pumped by a CW laser at 655 nm. The paired photons are emitted at the telecom wavelength of 1310 nm within a bandwidth of 0.7 nm. The quantum properties of the pairs are measured using a two-photon coalescence experiment showing a visibility of 85%. The evaluated source brightness, on the order of 10(5) pairs s(-1)GHz(-1)mW(-1), associated with its compactness and reliability, demonstrates the source's high potential for long-distance quantum communication.

Fully fibered polarization entangled photon pair source at a telecom wavelength for long distance Q-networking

Florian Kaiser, Anthony Martin, Laurent Labonté +4 more

In this paper we present the experimental results obtained on a new fully fibred polarization entangled photon- pair source at a telecom wavelength (1560 nm). Photon pairs are created using a type-0 interaction in a periodically poled lithium niobate waveguide, which has been shown to be the most efficient for non linear crystals. Polarization entanglement is then generated using a polarization dependent fibre delay line. Compared to a similar configuration reported previously, we obtain much higher visibilities on the violation of the Bell inequalities (≥ 97%), due to active delay line stabilization. In addition we remove the stringent constraint on the exact delay line length.
