CREATION METHOD OF ENTANGLED PHOTON PAIR, AND CREATION APPARATUS

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a creation method of photon pairs in which the enhancement of creation efficiency of the entangled photon pairs is made possible.;SOLUTION: A crystal of BiB₃O₆ (bismuth triborate; BiBO) is used as a nonlinear optical crystal 102, and the photon of exciting light 101 is made incident on the nonlinear optical crystal 102. The entangled photon pairs are created by the spontaneous parametric downward conversion of a type II.;COPYRIGHT: (C)2008,JPO&INPIT
