Abstract
The realization of efficient and miniature source of entangled photon pairs stills remains a challenge. In this work, we experimentally studied the possibility to enhance the process of spontaneous parametric down-conversion by surface plasmon polaritons. The details of the experimental setup will be discussed along with theoretical calculations of the enhancement factor.
