Abstract

A single retro-reflected Ti:Saphire laser is used to cool, pump and to render transparent a cloud of 87Rb atoms. Paired photons are generated into opposing single-mode fibers at a rate of 600 counts per second.

Generation of Narrow-Bandwidth Paired Photons: Use of a Single Driving Laser

Pavel Kolchin, Shengwang Du, Chinmay Belthangady +2 more

We describe a generator of narrow-band paired photons. A single retroreflected Ti:sapphire laser is used to cool, render transparent, and parametrically pump a cloud of (87)Rb atoms. We attain a paired-photon generation rate into opposing fibers of 600 counts/s with an intensity correlation function that has a width of 5 ns, and violates the Cauchy-Schwartz criteria by a factor of 2000.

Generation of Paired Photons with Controllable Waveforms

Vlatko Balić, Danielle Braje, Pavel Kolchin +2 more

We describe experiments and theory showing the generation of counterpropagating paired photons with coherence times of about 50 ns and waveforms that are controllable at a rudimentary level. Using cw lasers, electromagnetically induced transparency and cold 87Rb atoms we generate paired photons into opposing single-mode optical fibers at a rate of approximately 12 000 pairs per second.

Generation of Narrow-Band Hyperentangled Nondegenerate Paired Photons

Hui Yan, Shanchao Zhang, J. F. Chen +3 more

We report the generation of nondegenerate narrow-bandwidth paired photons with time-frequency and polarization entanglements from laser cooled atoms. We observe the two-photon interference caused by Rabi splitting with a coherence time of about 30 ns and a visibility of 81.8% which verifies the time-frequency entanglement of the paired photons. The polarization entanglement is confirmed by polarization correlation measurements which exhibit a visibility of 89.5% and characterized by quantum-state tomography with a fidelity of 90.8%. Taking into account the transmission losses and duty cycle, we estimate that the system generates hyperentangled paired photons into opposing single-mode fibers at a rate of 320 pairs per second.
