BHEPS-1000 Bright Polarization-Entangled Photon Source Broadband Telecom
Signal/Idler Degeneracy Wavelength 1550 ±0.7² nm; Photon Pairs Bandwith FWHM 3 nm @ -3 dB Spectral Brightness; Noise Suppression >75 dB; Fidelity >98% OZ Optics' advanced entangled photon sources harness the high optical confinement within a periodically poled nonlinear waveguide (PPNW) to achieve exceptional efficiency and produce plentiful photon pairs. Utilizing spontaneous parametric down-conversion (SPDC) within a periodically poled lithium niobate (PPLN) type-2 waveguide, situated within a fiber-based Sagnac loop, photons are generated. The thermal stabilization of the PPNW ensures maintenance of the ideal phase matching condition. Following the creation of photon pairs, pump photons and associated fluorescence noise are efficiently filtered out from the remaining pairs using a built-in set of optical filters. This remarkable stability is attained through the self-compensation effect of an all-in-fiber Sagnac interferometer, complemented by a single-frequency external cavity laser operating at 775 nm with an ultra-narrow linewidth. Consequently, bright, high-performance, and low-noise entangled photon sources operating at room temperature are realized. The resulting polarization-entangled photon pairs are generated within a narrow spectral bandwidth of just a few nanometers in the C Band, with a center wavelength of 1550 nm. Key features: Highest counts/coincidence rate available in the market High Heralding efficiency and excellent fidelity Turn-key, highly stable, room temperature operation Rugged, alignment free, proprietary design Built-in noise-suppression filters Built-in stable pump laser with variable attenuator Customizable Applications: Quantum key distribution, quantum computing and information processing, quantum LIDAR, subsystem integrable for quantum communication

BHEPS-1000 Bright Polarization-Entangled Photon Source Narrowband Telecom
Signal/Idler Degeneracy Wavelength 1550 ±0.6² nm; Photon Pairs Bandwith FWHM 80 nm @ -3 dB Spectral Brightness; Noise Suppression >75 dB; Fidelity >98% OZ Optics' advanced entangled photon sources leverage the high optical confinement within a periodically poled nonlinear waveguide (PPNW) to achieve remarkable efficiency and a rich abundance of photon pairs. These photons are produced through spontaneous parametric down-conversion (SPDC) within a periodically poled lithium niobate (PPLN) type-2 waveguide, nestled within a fiber-based Sagnac loop. Ensuring optimal phase matching, the PPNW is thermally stabilized. Upon photon pair creation, any residual pump photons and associated fluorescence noise are meticulously filtered out by an integrated set of optical filters. Exceptional stability is realized through the self-compensation effect of an all-in-fiber Sagnac interferometer, complemented by a single-frequency external cavity laser operating at 775 nm with an ultra-narrow linewidth. Consequently, these entangled photon sources deliver bright, high-performance outputs with minimal noise, operating comfortably at room temperature. The resulting polarization-entangled photon pairs exhibit a narrow spectral bandwidth of just a few nanometers in the C Band, centered at 1550 nm.

Fibogain ERFA EDFA Modules
Erbium-doped; 1530-1560 nm; Output Power ≥17 dBm; Signal Gain ≥25 dB; Return Loss -60 dB; Polarization Sensitivity 0.07 dB; Isolation 40 dB; Module or Instrument Form Factor Fibotec Fiberoptics’ Fibogain ERFA series of EDFA modules and instruments make use of the optical gain in an Erbium-doped fiber that is pumped by either 980 nm or 1480 nm light sources. Thus, incoming light of a longer wavelength in the C- or L-band is amplified and enhances the transmission span of fiber optic links. EDFAs typically operate in saturation, and the average power of a signal determines the average gain. Bit to bit dynamics or inter-channel crosstalk in DWDM-systems do not change the dynamics of an EDFA. This also enables the amplification of channel-bundles within the entire emission wavelength range of Erbium superimposing simple single-channel links. The average output power in both cases is determined by the saturation power of the specific EDFA design however. The majority of EDFAs is applied in fiberoptic links. Other applications can also be found - mainly in fiberoptic test & measurement setups and other instruments that include eye-safe free space measurement installations.
