All-Fiber Source of Polarization-Entangled Photon Pairs Based on a Novel Birefringence Compensated Scheme

arXiv:quant-ph/0607179

Abstract

We propose a new all-fiber source of polarization-entangled photon pairs for quantum communications. Fiber birefringence is compensated using Faraday rotator mirror, resulting in enhanced stability against random polarization drifts compared to existing schemes.
