Controlled Frequency Entanglement of Photons in Type-II Spontaneous Parametric Down-Conversion

Ryōsuke Shimizu, Keiichi Edamatsu

Abstract

We report broadband entangled photon sources that have control capability of the frequency entanglement. Directly observing the frequency correlation between the constituent photons, we demonstrate the biphoton sources consisting of frequency-correlated or frequency-anticorrelated photons.

High-flux and broadband biphoton sources with controlled frequency entanglement

Ryōsuke Shimizu, Keiichi Edamatsu

We report the high-flux and broadband generation of biphotons with controlled frequency entanglement. For the generation of the entangled state consisting of frequency-anticorrelated photons, we use PPMgSLT pumped by a continuous-wave (cw) laser. Meanwhile, the state consisting of frequency-correlated photons is produced from PPKTP under the extended phase-matching condition. Both states exhibited interference patterns with over 90% visibilities in two-photon interference experiments.

Tunable control of the frequency correlations of entangled photons

Martin Hendrych, Michal Mičuda, Juan P. Torres

We experimentally demonstrate a new technique to control the type of frequency correlations of entangled photon pairs generated by spontaneous parametric downconversion. Frequency-correlated and frequency-anticorrelated photons are produced when a broadband pulse is used as a pump. The method is based on the control of the group velocities of the interacting waves and can be applied in any nonlinear medium and frequency band of interest.

Generation and characterization of a frequency anti-correlated entangled biphoton source at 1560nm

A. Hou Feiyan, B. Dong Ruifang, C. Xiang Xiao +6 more

We report the generation and characterization of a frequency anti-correlated entangled biphoton source at the wavelength of 1560nm via a continuous-wave laser pumped spontaneous parametric down-conversion process. The spectra of the signal and idler photons are measured to have their center wavelength being 1559.7nm and 1559.8nm while their 3-dB bandwidths being 3.2nm and 3.15nm respectively. The joint spectrum of the photon pair is observed to be frequency anti-correlated and have a spectral bandwidth of 0.5nm. According to the ratio of the single-photon spectral bandwidth to the joint spectral bandwidth of the photon pairs, the degree of frequency entanglement is quantified to be 6.4. By investigating the relative overlap between the achieved two-photon spectral intensity function and its transpose, the spectral indisinguishablity of the photon pairs is expected to be 90%. Based on a HOM interferometric coincidence measurement setup, a visibility of 89.8% is demonstrated, which shows a good agreement with the expectation.

Generation of arbitrary frequency-entangled states of two-photon light

Dmitry A. Kalashnikov, V. P. Karasev, Konstantin G. Katamadze +2 more

We consider a new method for the generation of polarization-frequency entangled states of photon pairs. We use a frequency-nondegenerate regime of spontaneous parametric down conversion where the photon pairs (biphotons) are produced with identical polarizations, propagate mostly in the same direction, but differ in frequency. Entanglement is achieved by a coherent superposition of pairs emitted from two nonlinear crystals, with the polarization of the biphotons from the first crystal being changed by a transformer placed between the two crystals. We show that this scheme allows the degree of entanglement to be controlled by the choice of biphoton frequencies.

Controllable frequency entanglement via auto-phase-matched spontaneous parametric down-conversion

Zachary Walton, Mark C. Booth, Alexander V. Sergienko +2 more

A method for generating entangled photons with controllable frequency correlation via spontaneous parametric down-conversion (SPDC) is presented. The method entails initiating counterpropagating SPDC in a single-mode nonlinear waveguide by pumping with a pulsed beam perpendicular to the waveguide. The method offers several advantages over other schemes, including the ability to generate frequency-correlated photon pairs regardless of the dispersion characteristics of the system.

Engineering Frequency-Time Quantum Correlation of Narrow-Band Biphotons from Cold Atoms

Young‐Wook Cho, Kwang-Kyoon Park, Jong Chan Lee +1 more

The nonclassical photon pair, generated via a parametric process, is naturally endowed with a specific form of frequency-time quantum correlations. Here, we report complete control of frequency-time quantum correlations of narrow-band biphotons generated via spontaneous four-wave mixing in a cold atomic ensemble. We have experimentally confirmed the generation of frequency-anticorrelated, frequency-correlated, and frequency-uncorrelated narrow-band biphoton states, as well as verifying the strong nonclassicality of the correlations. Our work opens up new possibilities for engineering narrow-band entangled photons for various quantum optical and quantum information applications.
