EPS-1000 Polarization-Entangled Photon Source Narrowband 810 nm

Product information "EPS-1000 Polarization-Entangled Photon Source Narrowband 810 nm"

Signal/Idler Degeneracy Wavelenght 810 nm; Photon Pairs Bandwidth FWHM ~3 nm; Pair-generation rate >1x10⁵ Pairs/Second; Max. Output Power of Pump Laser 12 mW, variable.

OZ Optics provides entangled photon sources featuring a pair of periodically poled crystals housed within a Mach-Zehnder interferometer. These sources utilize type-2 spontaneous parametric down-conversion (SPDC) to generate polarization-entangled photon pairs. Multiple polarization displacers (PDs) are strategically employed to divide the pairs into two output ports, conveniently located on the front panel as depicted in the photo. Photon pairs are centered at 810 nm with a bandwidth of just a few nanometers.

Each source is equipped with a wavelength-stabilized pump laser, variable optical attenuator, and temperature controller to finely adjust phase matching parameters, optimizing efficiency. Integration of a rotatable half-wave plate (HWP) enables control over the number of photon pairs generated in each crystal. Consequently, users can establish polarization reference bases while easily toggling between polarization and energy domains. This feature is anticipated to greatly support the quantum optics R&D community.

Key features:

  • Turn-key and room-temperature operation
  • Built-in pump laser and noise-suppression filters
  • Controllable accidental photons rate

Applications: Quantum Information Science, quantum metrology, quantum key distribution, quantum computing and information processing

Gershwin & Guaraldi EPG Polarization Entangled Photon Sources
Polarization Entangled Photon Source; Fiber-coupled or Free Space; Type-0, Type-1, Type-2 Phase MatchingCrystal-based, OZ Optics’ Gershwin & Guaraldi EPG polarization entangled photon source product line produces polarization entangled photon pairs through the process of spontaneous parametric down conversion (SPDC). These OEM sources are compact interferometers which can be configured for type-0, type-1, or type-2 phase matching.Variants which support type-0/type-1 are called Guaraldi, while those supporting type-2 are called Gershwin. Both Guaraldi and Gershwin come optically coupled via fiber to free space focusers with pre-selected beam waists which can be customized upon request. Guaraldi and Gershwin are OEM-style devices designed to support the quantum optics R&D community.Using a laser, a dichroic beam splitter, tomographic measurement equipment (half wave plate (HWP), quarter wave plate (QWP), polarizing beam splitter (PBS)), and single photon detectors (e.g. IDQube), it takes seconds to measure photon pairs, and only a few trial settings of the HWP to generate and confirm very high quality (>95% fidelity) polarization entanglement.Guaraldi and Gershwin can be operated in two modes:Pair production mode: To create pairs, the HWP is set to 0 or 45 degrees. The generator is pumped with a suitable (correct wavelength) laser and the output can be split with either a 50:50 beam splitter or a dichroic.Polarization entanglement mode: Here, the operation is identical to pair production mode except that the HWP is set to 22.5 degrees. Further optimization of the entanglement quality can be achieved by small adjustments to the HWP setting if desired.Key Features:Customizable: Supports Type-0, Type-1, and Type-2 Phase Matching, Custom Beam Waist Selection, and Coupling OpticsTunable Entanglement (Fidelity Range 0 - 95%)Pre-aligned and StablePump Blocking for Basis AlignmentFiber-coupled or Free Space OptionsCount Rates: Kcps to McpsHeralding Efficiencies: >0.1 to 0.5Max.
