Paper Abstract
We describe the design and application of domain-engineered, periodically poled lithium niobate (PPLN) for use to
produce entangled photons and for other tools in quantum information and communications. By specially designing and
controlling the PPLN poling pattern, multiple nonlinear optical processes can be simultaneously phasematched. This
capability can be used to generate polarization-entangled photon pairs through type-II spontaneous parametric
downconversion. The single PPLN crystal is designed to produce both the |HV〉 and |VH〉 states where the
downconverted photons are distinguishable by wavelengths, which enables generation of post-selection-free,
polarization-entangled twin photons. We describe the design and fabrication of the PPLN crystal, and initial
experimental results for downconversion of a 775 nm pump to 1532 nm and 1567 nm orthogonally polarized photons.
We also discuss other applications of engineered optical frequency conversion for quantum information including the
use of dual-wavelength upconversion as a beamsplitter to route or analyze photons.
