ABSTRACT: We report the development of a fiber-based single-spatial-mode source of photon-pairs where the efficiency of extracting photon-pairs is improved over a previous source [18] through the use of fiber-end expansion and Bragg filters. This improvement in efficiency enabled a spectrally bright and pure photon-pair source having a small second-order correlation func-tion (0.03) and a raw spectral brightness of 44,700 pairs s −1 nm −1 mW −1 . The source can be configured to generate entangled photon-pairs, character-ized via optimal and minimal quantum state tomography, to have a fidelity of 97% and tangle of 92%, without subtracting any background., "A versatile waveguide source of photon pairs for chip-scale quantum information processing," Opt.
