| 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 6 x 105 pairs/sec at 100 !xW 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. Acknowledgements First and foremost, I would like to thank Dr. Franco Wong for giving me the opportunity to work on this project and for his invaluable support and help during all the stages of the work presented in this thesis, as well as during the writing of my thesis. It has been a great privilege learning from him during the past one and a half years. I would also like to thank Professor Jeffrey Shapiro for all the insights he has provided in the analysis of the data, and being available for productive discussions. I have learned tremendously from all the members of the Quantum Communications MURI Group and I would like to express my gratitude to all of them. The group meetings we have had helped me keep a broader perspective on the implications of our research when it was too easy to get lost in small experimental details. It has been a great experience working with all the members of our group. I would like to thank Chris Kuklewicz from whom I have learned so much during the course of the project. I am grateful to Marius Albota for always being there to help me out during the hard times of which there were many. Elliott Mason has been an invaluable resource on several topics and I have benefited tremendously from his experience in optics. I would also like to thank Emily Nelson for the thorough theoretical work she has done on the experiments. Her thesis has been an invaluable resource for me. Throughout my five years at MIT, I was fortunate to have many great friends around me who have helped me in many ways and made life more enjoyable. My special thanks to Cemal, Nicole and Wojciech for always being there for me. I would also … |
