Compact non-degenerate entangled-photon source and near-infrared-to-telecom quantum teleportation

Abstract

The polarization-entangled photon source (PEPS) at non-degenerated wavelengths is pivotal to connect quantum systems working at different wavelengths, with the assistance of quantum teleportation. Here, a compact Sagnac-type photon source is designed and demonstrated, in which two photons with wavelengths at 810 and 1550~nm are highly entangled in polarization degree of freedom. The two photons are generated from a periodically poled lithium niobate crystal pumped with a 532~nm continuous-wave laser, via type-0 nondegenerate spontaneous parametric down-conversion. The polarization of three lights is rotated by a single periscope, which makes the Sagnac interferometer compact and stable. The generated two photons are with high brightness of $3\times 10^4$ pairs/s/mW, which are highly entangled with fidelity of $0.985\pm 0.002$. The entanglement is verified by violating the Clauser-Horne-Shimony-Holt inequality with $\mathcal{S}=2.756\pm 0.007$. Finally, teleportation is demonstrated with this nondegenerate source, in which photonic states at 810~nm is teleported to 1550~nm with fidelity of $0.955\pm 0.003$.
