Problems solved by technology

Although the generation efficiency of entangled photon pairs has been significantly improved, since the nonlinear crystals used in the above-mentioned polarized entanglement sources are all bulk materials, the entire entanglement source device is relatively large, which is not conducive to the compact design of the device.
Moreover, the polarization entanglement source of the Mach-Zehnder interferometer structure needs to use two periodically polarized second-order nonlinear crystals, and the cost of the required equipment is relatively expensive, which is not conducive to large-scale popularization.
Moreover, when the degenerate entangled photon source is used as a single photon source, if both photon wavelengths are in the communication band, the commonly used silicon-based avalanche diode detector cannot be used to detect heraled photons

Abstract

The invention relates to a non-degenerate polarization-entangled source system utilizing a periodically polarized lithium niobate thin film waveguide, and an operating method thereof. The non-degenerate polarization-entangled source system comprises a laser, a first half-wave plate, a dichroic mirror, a first detector, a second detector, a polarization beam splitter, a second half-wave plate, a first reflector, a second reflector and the periodically polarized lithium niobate thin film waveguide. The required entangled source structure can be obtained by using just one piece of periodically polarized crystal, laser is split into two possible paths by means of the polarization beam splitter, then the two possible paths of laser pass through the periodically polarized optical waveguide fromopposite directions, pump light generates an entangled phonton pair in each of the two paths. The non-degenerate polarization-entangled source system is compact in device structure, and optical components used in the interferometer portion can be manufactured in an integrated optical path, thereby laying a foundation for integration and scale production of the entangled source.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a non-degenerate polarization entanglement source system using a periodically poled lithium niobate film waveguide and a working method thereof, belonging to the technical field of quantum information. Background technique [0002] In quantum mechanics, when several particles interact with each other, because the properties of each particle have been integrated into the overall property, the properties of each particle cannot be described separately, but the properties of the overall system can only be described. This phenomenon is called quantum entanglement . [0003] An important component in many research programs for quantum technologies is a high-quality source of single photons or entangled photon pairs. At present, the more entanglement sources used in experiments are the polarization entanglement sources that use type-II BBO crystals to generate down-converted light. The corresponding phase matching angles are calcula...
