Generation of correlated photon pairs in type-II parametric down conversion--revisited

Christian Kurtsiefer, Markus Oberparleiter, Harald Weinfurter

Type-II parametric down conversion in nonlinear optical crystals has turned out to be one of the most powerful methods to generate entangled photon pairs, and even allowed a large set of experiments on foundations of quantum mechanics and recent applications in quantum communication. In this paper, we present an experimental investigation of the emission characteristics for down-converted photons in order to investigate the possibility of high brightness sources for correlated photon pairs. Furthermore, we discuss possible ways to increase the collection efficiency for polarization entangled photon pairs.

Spatial distinguishability of photons produced by parametric down-conversion with a focused pump

Focusing the pump in type-II SPDC not only increases the efficiency of photon collection with single-mode fibers, but also increases the spatial distinguishability of the photons, in some cases reducing the polarization entanglement.

We describe the full characterization of BiB3O6 as a polarization entangled photon source using non-collinear type-II parametric down-conversion and experimentally demonstrate entanglement generation with up to 2.5 times higher rates compared to β-BaB2O4.
