Polarization-entangled photon pairs with factorable spectra engineered by using an uneven four-stage nonlinear interferometer

We report the generation of polarization-entangled photon pairs in the 1550 nm band by pumping an uneven nonlinear interferometer loop with two orthogonally polarized counterpropagating pump pulses.The uneven nonlinear interferom-eter,providing a more ideal interference pattern due to the elimination of secondary maxima,consists of four pieces of dispersion-shifted fibers sandwiched with three pieces of standard single-mode fibers,and the lengths of the nonlinear fibers follow the binomial distribution.The mode number of the photon pairs deduced from the measured joint spectrum is~1.03.The collection efficiency of the photon pairs is found to be~94%[after background noise correction].The directly measured visibility of two-photon interference of the polarization-entangled photon pairs is~92%,while no interference is observed in the direct detection of either the signal or idler photons.
