Compact sources of polarization-entangled photons

Opt Express. 2008 Nov 24;16(24):20149-56. doi: 10.1364/oe.16.020149.

Abstract

We present several novel sources of polarization-entangled states based on beam displacer interferometers. These sources generate a large number of high-quality entangled photon pairs in a compact alignment-free layout and can work with both cw and pulsed pumps.
