Abstract

Entangled-photon sources are a key element for most quantum-information applications, ranging from quantum communication systems to quantum simulators and full photonic quantum computers. Spontaneous parametric downconversion (SPDC), requiring a pump laser and a nonlinear medium, is up-to-date still the preferred technique to generate such photonic entanglement. To scale the transmission rates or gate operations of the aforementioned applications, high clock rates of the pump lasers are needed. Moreover, photonic quantum-processing algorithms require photons with not only high entanglement visibility but also high spectral indistinguishability and purity. This can either be achieved by narrow spectral filtering, costly in rate, or by suitable choice of the pump pulse length (typically in the ps range). Attempts have been made to increase the rate of conventional fs-lasers by adding multiple spatial-paths [1] but this method cannot be used to go beyond GHz repetition rates. This results in the quest to produce pump lasers with very high repetition rate, ps-pulse width and high enough power to drive the weak SPDC process.
