Abstract

1.5 μm polarization entanglement generation is experimentally demonstrated based on birefringence in polarization maintained dispersion shifted fiber. Two-photon interference with visibility of >89% without subtracting background counts is achieved, indicating its polarization entanglement property.

Polarization entanglement generation at 15 μm based on walk-off effect due to fiber birefringence

Qiang Zhou, Wei Zhang, Pengxiang Wang +2 more

In this Letter, a linear scheme to generate polarization entanglement at 1.5 μm based on commercial polarization maintained dispersion shifted fiber (PM-DSF) is proposed. The birefringent walk-off effect of the pulsed pump light in the PM-DSF provides an effective way to suppress the vector scattering processes of spontaneous four-wave mixing. A 90 deg offset of fiber polarization axes is introduced at the midpoint of the fiber to realize the quantum superposition of the two correlated photon states generated by the two scalar processes on different fiber polarization axes, leading to polarization entanglement generation. Experiments of the indistinguishable property on single-side and two-photon interference in two nonorthogonal polarization bases are demonstrated. A two-photon interference fringe visibility of 89±3% is achieved without subtracting the background counts, demonstrating its great potential in developing highly a efficient and stable fiber based polarization-entangled quantum light source at the optical communication band.

Generation of polarization-entangled photon pairs in 1550nm band by a fiber-optic two-photon interferometer

Akio Yoshizawa, Hidemi Tsuchida

Polarization-entangled photon pairs in a band around 1550nm are generated by use of a fiber-optic two-photon interferometer having two periodically poled lithium niobate waveguides. Coincidence measurements are adopted for feedback control, in order to suppress phase drifts in the state of entanglement. Two-photon interference with a visibility of ∼1 (after subtraction of accidental coincidences) is observed over an hour. The visibility including accidental coincidences is ∼0.77.
