Abstract
A proposal is made for the generation of polarization-entangled photon pairs from a periodically poled crystal. The theory is formulated in terms of colinear propagation for application to waveguides. The key feature of the theory is the use of type 2 phase matching using both the +1 and -1 diffraction orders of the poling structure. Although these conditions are fairly restrictive in terms of operating parameters, we find that a HeNe pump laser may be used for a periodically poled rubidium-doped potassium titanyl phosphate (Rb:KTP) waveguide with a single mode for both the signal and idler beams. Fidelity of 0.98 is possible under reasonable conditions.Citation
