Abstract

A robust, quickly tunable narrow-linewidth entangled photon source system based on Spontaneous Parametric Down Conversion (SPDC) of the pump light in periodically polled LiNbO(PPLN) waveguides. The photon source provides narrow-linewidth, entangled output photons having a wavelength in the telecom C-Band wavelength. To tailor the output spectrum of the output photons, the PPLN waveguide is arranged between two end waveguides having LiNbO3-embedded Bragg gratings, thereby forming a tunable Fabry-Perot cavity. The resulting narrow output linewidth of the output photons makes the system desirable for use in a long-distance quantum key distribution (QKD) system.
