Abstract

We present the fabrication, characterisation and modelling of an in-house fabricated source of decorrelated, indistinguishable photon pairs at 1550 nm based on a periodically poled Rb:KTP waveguide.

We show that with simple spectral filtering, the Schmidt number for the transmitted photon-pairs (with 90% transmittance) which are produced via type-II parametric down-conversion in a KTP waveguide equals to unity to within 0.2 %.

We demonstrate a bright, bandwidth-engineerable, compact, quasi-phase-matched single-waveguide source generating photon pairs near 900 nm and 1300 nm. Coincidence spectra are measured for a periodically-poled KTiOPO4 waveguide for both type-0 and type-I spontaneous parametric down-conversion.

Spatially single mode photon pair source at 800 nm in periodically poled Rubidium exchanged KTP waveguides

Christof Eigner, Laura Padberg, Matteo Santandrea +3 more

Photon pair sources in the visible to NIR wavelength region play a key role in quantum optics. The wavelength range around 800 nm provides an opportunity for using low cost detectors, which makes it highly interesting for practical, large scale quantum applications. Here, we report on the realization of single mode Rubidium (Rb) exchanged waveguides in periodically poled (PP) Potassium Titanyl Phosphate (Rb:KTiOPO4 or Rb:KTP) for frequency-non-degenerate type II parametric down-conversion pumped at 400 nm and generating pairs of photons at around 800 nm. The source exhibits a nonlinear conversion efficiency of 2.0%/(Wcm2), estimated from SHG measurements. Characterisation of the generated two-photon state confirms nonclassical photon-number correlations, characterized by g(1,1). The high nonlinear conversion efficiency and low temperature sensitivity make this source a promising candidate for operations in both classical and quantum integrated network applications.

Polarization-Entangled Photon Pairs From Periodically-Poled Crystalline Waveguides Over a Range of Frequencies

Dylan A. Heberle, Zachary H. Levine

We propose a method to extend the frequency range of polarization entanglement in periodically poled rubidium-doped potassium titanyl phosphate (Rb:KTP) waveguides. Our calculations predict that output wavelengths from 1130 nm to 1257 nm may be achieved using Rb:KTP by the appropriate selection of a direction of propagation for the waveguide. The fidelity using a poling period of 1 mm is approximately 0.98.
