Abstract

The design and implementation of a novel source of degenerate polarization entangled photon pairs in the telecom band, based on a cavity enhanced parametric downconversion process, is presented. Two of the four maximally entangled Bell states are produced; the remaining two are obtainable by the addition of a half wave plate into the setup. The coincident photon detection rate in the A/D basis between two detectors at the output of the device revealed the production of highly entangled states, resulting in quantum interference visibilities of 0.971 ± 0.041 (ϕ = 0 state) and 0.932 ± 0.036 (ϕ = π state) respectively. The entangled states were found to break the Clauser-Horne-Shimony-Holt (CHSH) Bell inequality by around 6 standard deviations. From the measured coincidence counting rates and the optical system losses, an entangled photon pair production rate of 8.9 × 104 s−1 mW−1 pump was estimated.

(a) Measurements of the number of coincident photon detections at D1 and D2 (see Fig. 2) as a function of θ 2 for θ 1 = 0° (triangles) and θ 1 = 90° (circles). (b) Measurements of the number of coincidences as a function of θ2 with fixed θ 1 = 45°. Data sets correspond to θsilica = 30.0° (ϕ = 0 state, hollow circles), θsilica = 32.1 (ϕ = π/2 state, filled circles) and θsilica = 34.4° (ϕ = π state, triangles). Measurements at each setting of θ2 were made over a 300 s time period which corresponds to a detector ‘on time’ of ~1.85 s. For both (a) and (b), the lines are least squares fit to the experimental data, the square data points are the measured singles counts at D2 over 300 s as a function of θ 2 . The pump power into the enhancement cavity was 50 mW. The error bars shown were used as weightings for the curve fitting and are based upon Poissonian N uncertainties.
