PPLN waveguide under red laser illumination
A periodically poled lithium niobate (PPLN) waveguide is pumped by a red laser for highly-efficient entangled photon-pair generation at a telecom wavelength.
The underlying nonlinear optical process is called spontaneous parametric down-conversion.
Entangled photon-pairs at a telecom wavelength are widely employed for long-distance quantum communication applications.
This PPLN waveguide was fabricated at the LPMC, Nice, France
