Abstract

A new source of polarization entangled photons is presented based on a bidirectionally pumped spontaneous parametric down-conversion crystal in the loop of a Sagnac interferometer. The source is pumped with a pulsed Ti:SA laser, allowing for high photon pair production rates and the potential for multi-photon experiments. Implementation, detection, and preliminary experimental results will be discussed.
