Broadband pumped polarization entangled photon-pair source in a linear beam displacement interferometer
arXiv:1908.09568 · doi:10.1063/1.5124416
Abstract
We experimentally demonstrate a source of polarization entangled photon-pairs based on a single periodically-poled potassium titanyl phosphate (PPKTP) crystal pumped with a broadband, free running laser diode.The crystal is placed within a linear beam-displacement interferometer, and emits photon-pairs based ontype-0 spontaneous parametric downconversion (SPDC). We observe pair rates of 0.56 Mpairs/s/mW in a single spatial mode with a polarization visibility of 97.7% over a spectral range of 100 nm. This experiment demonstrates a pathway towards observing Gigacount rates of polarization entangled photon pairs by using high-power free-running laser diodes with fast multiplexed detectors.
