Abstract

We describe a novel scheme for spatial-mode-entangled photon-pair generation in a few-mode fiber. We experimentally verify the underlying inter-modal parametric processes with two-mode classical signal input and demonstrate high mode purity of the generated idler.

We describe a scheme for generation of spatial-mode-entangled photon pairs in a few-mode fiber and experimentally demonstrate generation of idler beams from classical seed signals representing various superpositions of fiber LP01and LP11amodes. For every signal mode superposition, we observe the indication of idler mode orthogonality to the signal mode.

Aiming at producing spatial-mode-entangled photon pairs in a few-mode fiber, we experimentally demonstrate generation of idler beam from a seed signal in a superposition of two fiber modes. For every signal mode superposition, we observe the indication of idler mode orthogonality to the signal mode.

Polarization entangled signal and idler photons in the higher-order LP11a and LP11b modes, respectively, are generated via inter-spatial-mode spontaneous four-wave mixing in a 17-m-long mode maintaining few-mode fiber with a panda type elliptical core.
