Abstract

After characterizing the Raman scattering spectrum of a polarization-maintaining microstructure fiber, we produced a high brightness two-photon source with a two-photon coincidence/accidental (C/A) ratio of 1000 at 100 Hz.

A broadband high spectral brightness fiber-based two-photon source

Jingyun Fan, Alan L. Migdall

After characterizing the Raman scattering in a fused silica polarization-maintaining microstructure optical fiber, we built a fiber-based two-photon light source of high spectral brightness, broad spectral range, and very low noise background at room temperature. The resulting bright low-noise two-photon light can be used for a number of quantum information applications.

An optical fiber-based source of polarization-entangled photon pairs

Jingyun Fan, Matthew D. Eisaman, Alan L. Migdall

We describe the preparation of a high spectral brightness, broad wavelength coverage, single-spatial mode source of polarization-entangled photon pairs operated at room temperature. The source takes advantage of single-mode fiber optics, highly nonlinear microstructure fiber, judicious phase-matching, and the inherent stability provided by a Sagnac interferometer. With a modest average pump power (300 μW), we create all four Bell states with a detected two-photon coincidence rate of 7 kHz per bandwidth of 0.9 nm, in a spectral range of more than 20 nm.

We generate hyperentangled (time-bin and polarization) photon-pairs using a microstructure-fiber Sagnac interferometer. Two-photon interference visibilities in both degrees of freedom are > 84%, and Bellpsilas inequality is violated by 27 sigma at 1-kHz coincidence rate.
