Experimentation of Entangled photon-pairs generation using an ultrafast source at gigahertz
Eduardo Bloise · 2013
In this dissertation we will present the experimental study of polarization entangled photon pairs generation, through spontaneous parametric down conversion (SPDC) using an ultrafast source at gigahertz. The laser source that we used is the TACCOR 8. The optical process of second harmonic generation (SHG) is generated by a periodically poled KTP (PPKTP) crystal. Finally, we measured the photon-pairs generation rate in the best case of conversion efficiency of SHG with PPKTP.
