We review on-going progress in the development of fiber-based telecom-band entanglement sources. Two different schemes (a Sagnac-loop scheme and a counter-propagating scheme) for generating polarization entanglement are reviewed and the pros and cons of each are summarized. A new scheme, called the double-loop scheme is proposed, which is theoretically shown to be capable of combining the benefits and avoiding the pitfalls of each previous scheme.

Generation of entanglement between frequency bands by nonlinear fiber propagation and spectral pulse shaping

A novel fiber-based scheme for generating quadrature entanglement between a specific pair of frequency bands is proposed. The scheme is based on use of a nonlinear fiber, a spectral pulse shaper, and an adaptive feedback loop. It is numerically predicted that at least -5 dB of the quadrature entanglement will be created by preparation of an appropriate initial phase spectrum. Optimal control of the four-wave mixing terms of the Kerr Hamiltonian is crucial for improvement of the entanglement.

The optimization control of soliton squeezing in nonlinear fibers using a pulse shaper and a spectral filter

Daisuke Fujishima, Masahiro Takeoka, Fumihiko Kannari

Summary form only given. Quantum entanglement and other related effects with bright squeezed fields have attracted a great interest since it does not need the few quanta system. We propose the novel adaptive system for optimization of the initial pulse waveform to obtain desired intermode quantum structures, and numerically evaluated its feasibilities. We show the experimental setup for the proposed system. The (classically) shaped pulses are propagated through a nonlinear fiber and the quantum state information of these pulses is detected after spectral filtering. The detected information is fed back to the pulse shaper with an optimization algorithm, and thus we can find out the optimum initial waveform. for obtaining the desired quantum structure.
