    CW-pumped telecom band polarization entangled photon pair generation in a Sagnac interferometer

    Full text link
    A polarization entangled photon pair source is widely used in many quantum information processing applications such as teleportation, quantum swapping, quantum computation and high precision quantum metrology. Here, we report on the generation of a continuous-wave pumped degenerated 1550 nm polarization entangled photon pair source at telecom wavelength using a type-II phase-matched periodically poled KTiOPO4 crystal in a Sagnac interferometer. Hong-Ou-Mandel-type interference measurement shows the photon bandwidth of 2.4 nm. High quality of entanglement is verified by various kinds of measurements, for example two-photon interference fringes, Bell inequality and quantum states tomography. The wavelength of photons can be tuned over a broad range by changing the temperature of crystal or pump power without losing the quality of entanglement. This source will be useful for building up long-distance quantum networks

    This paper is concerned with positive almost periodic type solutions to a class of nonlinear difference equation with delay. By using a fixed point theorem in partially ordered Banach spaces, we establish several theorems about the existence and uniqueness of positive almost periodic type solutions to the addressed difference equation. In addition, in order to prove our main results, some basic and important properties about pseudo almost periodic sequences are presented

    Efficient infrared upconversion via a ladder-type atomic configuration

    Full text link
    We have demonstrated experimentally that infrared light at 1529.4nm can be converted into the visible at 780nm with 54% efficiency through a ladder-type atomic configuration in 85Rb. Specifically we theoretically analyze that high efficiency is due to the large nonlinear dispersion of the index of refraction from the off-resonant enhancement in a four-wave mixing (FWM) process. By using two perpendicular polarized pump fields, the coherence of two FWM processes in this configuration is verified.Comment: The new version is published in Journal of Modern Optic
