Efficient fiber coupling of down-conversion photon pairs

Year: 2004
Type: article
Abstract: We develop and apply an effective analytic theory of a noncollinear, broadband type-I parametric down-conversion to study a coupling efficiency of the generated photon pairs into single mode optical fibers. We derive conditions necessary for highly efficient coupling for single and double type-I crystal producing polarization entangled states of light. We compare the obtained approximate analytic expressions with the exact numerical solutions and discuss the results for a case of beta barium borate crystals.
