利用激光脉冲抽运40m的色散平坦光子晶体光纤(PCF),通过四波混频(FWM)效应获得了高质量、高计数率的纠缠光子源。实验测得信号与闲频光分别处于1545nm和1555nm处。光子对的符合与偶然符合比可达8,对应的符合速率达1.43kHz。理论结果与实验结果基本吻合,该系统可作为量子密钥分发系统的光源,误码率可小于6%。
We demonstrate a high quality and high counting rate source of entangled photon pairs through four-wavemixing (FWM) by pumping a 40m dispersion-flattened photonic crystal fiber (PCF). This pair of photons, which are called signal/idle wave, is found at 1545 nm and 1555 nm, respectively. The coincidence and accidental coincidence ratio (C/A) can reach to 8, with the coincidence rate of 1.43 kHz. The computer results have tallied in general with the experiment. Such a system can be used as the source of quantum key distribution system with a bit error rate less than 6 %.
