A novel single-crystal & single-pass source for polarisation- and colour-entangled photon pairs

Abstract We demonstrate a new generation mechanism for polarisation- and colour-entangled photon pairs. In our approach we tailor the phase-matching of a periodically poled KTP crystal such that two downconversion processes take place simultaneously. Relying on this effect, our source emits entangle...
