Abstract

We use a 50/50 Sagnac-loop configuration to spatially separate degenerate photon pairs created via four-photon scattering in dispersion-shifted fiber, A Hong-Ou-Mandel dip with visibility > 94% is observed.

A Fiber-Based Source of Degenerate Polarization-Entangled Photons in the Telecom Band

We present a high quality degenerate source of polarization-entangled photons (0.96 ± 0.01 fidelity with a maximally entangled state). Reverse Hong-Ou-Mandel interference in an optical-fiber Sagnac loop deterministically separates the indistinguishable photons.

Fiber-based telecommunication-band source of degenerate entangled photons

Milja Medić, Joseph B. Altepeter, Matthew Hall +2 more

We have constructed and experimentally characterized what we believe to be the first fiber-based source of degenerate polarization-entangled photon pairs in the telecommunication band. Our source design utilizes bichromatic pump pulses and an optical-fiber Sagnac loop aligned to deterministically separate degenerate photon pairs at a central wavelength. The source exhibits 0.997+/-0.006 fidelity with a maximally entangled state, measured using quantum state tomography. When reconfigured to produce identical photon pairs, the source exhibits a Hong-Ou-Mandel interference visibility of 0.97+/-0.04.

We have studied the purity of entangled photon-pairs generated in a dispersion-shifted fiber at various temperatures. Two-photon interference with visibility > 98% is observed at 77K, without subtraction of the background Raman photons.
