Abstract

We report the preparation and storage of frequency-uncorrelated cavity-enhanced SPDC entangled photons. The frequency correlation is eliminated with a suitable pulsed pump. The storage of a single photon entangled with another flying photon is demonstrated.

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.
