SAPPHIRE Benchtop Correlated Photon Pair Sources

Product information "SAPPHIRE Benchtop Correlated Photon Pair Sources"

810, 1550 nm; Wavelength Accuracy ±2 nm; Pair-generation Rate 1x105-4x106 Pairs/s; Coincidence-to-accidental Ratio 100-1000; Fiber Type SM, PM

OZ Optics’ SAPPHIRE correlated photon pair sources produce time/energy entangled photon pairs via the process of spontaneous parametric down conversion (SPDC). After creating photon pairs, the pump light is removed from the output and the remaining pairs are split into single photons and sent to separate signal / idler outputs.

Similar to their polarization entangled photon pair counterparts, OZ correlated pair sources come equipped with a stabilized pump laser and temperature-stabilized phase matching along with pump power control via an internal variable optical attenuator.
