Collinear ultra-broadband parametric fluorescence generated from 10%-chirped quasi phase matched device

The state-of-art technology of a quasi-phase matched (QPM) device has enabled the efficient generation of frequency-entangled photon pairs through parametric fluorescence [1, 2]. Harris [3] has proposed the generation of photon pairs which are correlated on a mono-cycle time scale of optical period. In that paper, the poling period of QPM device is linearly chirped (increased) from the entrance to the exit. Thus, each poling period is phase matched at different wavelengths of photon pairs, spanning ultra-broad spectrum. Recent experiment by Mohan et al as its application to quantum optical coherence tomography [4], has realized the parametric fluorescence from chirped-QPM device which is phase matched from 820nm to 1500nm using stoichiometric lithium tantalate (SLT) crystal as a nonlinear medium with 13% chirping (poling period: from 7.500µm to 8.500µm).

Orthogonal quasi-phase-matched superlattice for generation of hyperentangled photons

Salem F. Hegazy, Salah S. A. Obayya, Bahaa E. A. Saleh

A crystal superlattice structure featuring nonlinear layers with alternating orthogonal optic axes interleaved with orthogonal poling directions, is shown to generate high-quality hyperentangled photon pairs via orthogonal quasi-phase-matched spontaneous parametric downconversion. We demonstrate that orthogonal quasi-phase matching (QPM) processes in a single nonlinear domain structure correct phase and group-velocity mismatches concurrently. Compared with the conventional two-orthogonal-crystals source and the double-nonlinearity single-crystal source, the orthogonal QPM superlattice is shown to suppress the spatial and temporal distinguishability of the generated photon pairs by several orders of magnitude, depending on the number of layers. This enhanced all-over-the-cone indistinguishability enables the generation of higher fluxes of photon-pairs by means of the combined use of (a) long nonlinear crystal in noncollinear geometry, (b) low coherence-time pumping and ultra-wide-band spectral detection, and (c) focused pumping and over-the-cone detection. While each of these three features is challenging by itself, it is remarkable that the orthogonal QPM superlattice meets all of these challenges without the need for separate spatial or temporal compensation.
