Abstract

Nowadays, with the continuous development of optical quantum sensor technology, the importance of the quantum entanglement source is increasing day by day. As an indispensable part of optical quantum systems, the quantum entanglement source has a wide prospect of application in quantum communication, quantum imaging, quantum computing, life science and so on. However, the current power consumption and preparation cost of quantum entanglement sources are relatively huge, which impedes further integration and expansion. In view of these problems, we establish a quantum entanglement source model pumped by a low-power laser diode based on spontaneous parametric down-conversion (SPDC) theory and phase matching technology, to effectively analyze the influence of components and characteristics of each module of quantum entanglement source on its performance. Furthermore, we prepare a quantum entanglement source with a 10mW laser diode and a typical type-II barium metaborate (BBO) crystal to conduct experiment whose result is 2053 counts per second in average which is in desirable agreement with the model. To some extent, the low-power and low-cost goal of quantum entanglement source has been achieved, which has made a significant contribution to the practical application of quantum entanglement lighting, and is conducive to the popularization of optical quantum systems in the future.
