Abstract

Broadband entangled photons enable quantum interferometry, a technique for ultra-high resolution measurement of polarization mode dispersion [1,2]. We present designs and preliminary results from a broadband entangled photon source in periodically poled lithium niobate waveguides.

We demonstrate ultra-broadband spontaneous parametric down-conversion over a 100 THz bandwidth using an on-chip dispersion-engineered periodically-poled lithium niobate waveguide. The source produces photon-pairs with an unprecedented 13 GHz/mW efficiency and a coincidence-to-accidental ratio exceeding 105.

We present a new approach to engineering broadband sources of entangled photon pairs for quantum interferometry. The source is based on quasi-phase-matched spontaneous parametric down conversion in a titanium diffused periodically poled lithium niobate waveguide with a strongly-chirped poling period. The proposed non-standard asymmetric poling mitigates phase distortions associated with the process of chirping. Asymmetric poling significantly broadens the entangled source bandwidth while preserving high visibility quantum interferometric sensing.
