Abstract

The potential of twin photons generated by parametric down-conversion for metrological applications are discussed. We present several experimental results like the measurement of chromatic dispersion and polarization mode dispersion in optical fibers.

As polarization-entangled photons traverse through fibers with polarization mode dispersion the degree of their entanglement changes in fascinating ways. We will describe sudden loss and revival of entanglement and also will discuss non-local PMD compensation.

Effects of polarization mode dispersion on polarization-entangled photons generated via broadband pumped spontaneous parametric down-conversion

Hyang‐Tag Lim, Kang-Hee Hong, Yoon-Ho Kim

An inexpensive and compact frequency multi-mode diode laser enables a compact two-photon polarization entanglement source via the continuous wave broadband pumped spontaneous parametric down-conversion (SPDC) process. Entanglement degradation caused by polarization mode dispersion (PMD) is one of the critical issues in optical fiber-based polarization entanglement distribution. We theoretically and experimentally investigate how the initial entanglement is degraded when the two-photon polarization entangled state undergoes PMD. We report an effect of PMD unique to broadband pumped SPDC, equally applicable to pulsed pumping as well as cw broadband pumping, which is that the amount of the entanglement degradation is asymmetrical to the PMD introduced to each quantum channel. We believe that our results have important applications in long-distance distribution of polarization entanglement via optical fiber channels.
