Abstract

We designed, fabricated, and characterized a LiNbO3waveguide quasi-phase-matched highly nondegenerate twin photon generation device for a heralded single photon source. The power of the generated photon was nearly proportional to the pump power, as theoretically predicted. The temporal correlation of the generated twin photon was demonstrated by a photon coincidence counting experiment.

Quasi-phase-matched (QPM) Ti : LiNbO3waveguide devices for generation of postselection-free polarization-entangled twin photons are proposed. The devices consist of cascaded two sections of slightly different QPM parameters. Generation of the entangled photons in the telecommunication band in a fabricated device of 2 times 15 mm interaction length is demonstrated through photon coincidence counting and quantum interference experiments.

Type-I Quasi-Phase-Matched Waveguide Device for Polarization-Entangled Twin Photon Generation

J. Kawashima, M. Fujimura, Toshiaki Suhara

Quantum-entangled twin photons are expected to play an important role in future quantum communications and information processing. We propose and demonstrate a Type-I quasi-phase-matched (QPM) nonlinear-optic (NLO) LiNbO3waveguide device for high-efficiency polarization-entangled twin photon generation. The device consists of a Ti:LiNbO3channel waveguide, a ferroelectric domain-inverted grating for Type-I QPM, and a thin-film half-wave plate for polarization conversion at the center of the NLO interaction region. Generation of polarization-entangled twin-photons is demonstrated through quantum interference experiment.

We demonstrate a cross-polarized twin photon generation device using a LiNbO3waveguide for the first time. The twin photons can easily be split into each photon, and the device has applications to polarization-entangled photon generation. Type II quasi-phase matching (TE/spl rarr/TE+TM) and nonlinear tensor element d/sub 24/ were used for twin photon generation in the 1.55-μm band by the parametric fluorescence.
