Wavelength-multiplexed distribution of highly entangled photon-pairs over optical fiber

We report the first experimental demonstration of wavelength-multiplexed entanglement distribution over optical fiber. Forty-four channels of polarization-entangled photon-pairs were produced from a single pulse-pumped, short periodically-poled lithium niobate waveguide and distributed over 10 km of...

Zusammenfassung:We report the first experimental demonstration of wavelength-multiplexed entanglement distribution over optical fiber. Forty-four channels of polarization-entangled photon-pairs were produced from a single pulse-pumped, short periodically-poled lithium niobate waveguide and distributed over 10 km of dispersion-shifted optical fiber. Entanglement fidelities of the distributed photon-pairs exceeded 0.86 for all selected channels.
