Generation of polarization entangled photon pairs by a single crystal interferometric source pumped by femtosecond laser pulses
Photon pairs, highly entangled in polarization have been generated under femtosecond laser pulse excitation by a type I crystal source, operating in a single arm interferometric scheme. The relevant effects of temporal walk-off existing in these conditions between the ordinary and extraordinary photons were experimentally investigated. By introducing a suitable temporal compensation between the...
متن کاملTunable narrowband entangled photon pair source for resonant single-photon single-atom interaction.
We present a tunable, frequency-stabilized, narrow-bandwidth source of frequency-degenerate, entangled photon pairs. The source is based on spontaneous parametric downconversion in periodically poled KTiOPO(4). Its wavelength can be stabilized to 850 or 854 nm, thus allowing to address two transitions in (40)Ca(+) ions. Its output bandwidth of 22 MHz coincides with the absorption bandwidth of t...
متن کاملCompact source of polarization-entangled photon pairs.
We present a compact source of polarization-entangled photon pairs at a wavelength of 805 nm using a violet single-mode laser diode as the pump source of type-II spontaneous parametric down-conversion. The source exhibits entanglement and pair-rate comparable to conventional systems utilizing large frame ion lasers thus significantly increases the practicality of novel quantum information or qu...
متن کاملSingle and Entangled Photon Sources
This paper explores the fundamentals and applications of single and entangled photon sources. These sources are the ground works for advances in quantum communications, ranging from quantum cryptography to topics as peculiar as quantum teleportation. Single Photon Sources I. What is a Single Photon Source? A single photon source is an emitter of light that has all of its photons separated in ti...
متن کاملSingle and Entangled Photon Sources
The possibility of totally secure communication through the application of quantum mechanical properties was introduced in 1984 by Bennett and Brassard in their paper, “Quantum Cryptography: Public Key Distribution and Coin Tossing”. As Bennett and Brassard outlined, quantum communication makes it impossible for an eavesdropper to intercept a message without detection by the desired parties. Th...
