Abstract: A type-II phase-matched, doubly-resonant KTP optical parametric amplifier (OPA) was pumped at 532 nm near frequency degeneracy to produce a high-flux source of entangled photons with an inferred production rate of 1.8 x 106 pairs/sec at 100 ptW of pump power.The output consisted of three distinct components: narrowband doubly-resonant pairs, narrowband singly-resonant pairs and broadband nonresonant pairs.The broadband nonresonant pairs comprised polarization triplet states under frequency degeneracy.Quantum interference between the OPA output pairs has been observed for the triplet states that were analyzed with a polarizer set at 450 relative to the output polarizations of the OPA.
