Increased polarization-entangled photon flux via thinner crystals

Abstract

We demonstrate experimentally that the production of polarization-entangled photons via type-II spontaneous parametric down-conversion is higher for thin nonlinear crystals than for thicker ones, basically because thinner crystals generate a broader spectrum.

Increased polarization-entangled photon flux via thinner crystals

P. S. K. Lee, Martin P. van Exter, J. P. Woerdman

We analyze the scaling laws that govern the production of polarization-entangled photons via type-II spontaneous parametric down-conversion (SPDC). We demonstrate experimentally that thin nonlinear crystals can generate a higher number of entangled photons than thicker crystals, basically because they generate a broader spectrum.

Generation of Ultra-Bright Polarization-Entangled Photon Pairs via Type II Noncritical Phase Matching

Ilhwan Kim, Yosep Kim, Yong‐Su Kim +2 more

We experimentally demonstrated generation of ultra-bright polarization-entangled photon pairs based on a spontaneous parametric down-conversion process in a bulk KTP crystal. This technique uses noncritical phase matching to generate Type II, collinear photon pairs.

Generation of correlated photon pairs in type-II parametric down conversion--revisited

Christian Kurtsiefer, Markus Oberparleiter, Harald Weinfurter

Type-II parametric down conversion in nonlinear optical crystals has turned out to be one of the most powerful methods to generate entangled photon pairs, and even allowed a large set of experiments on foundations of quantum mechanics and recent applications in quantum communication. In this paper, we present an experimental investigation of the emission characteristics for down-converted photons in order to investigate the possibility of high brightness sources for correlated photon pairs. Furthermore, we discuss possible ways to increase the collection efficiency for polarization entangled photon pairs.
