Abstract

In this paper, the generation of polarization entangled photon pairs at 1.5 {\mu}m is experimentally demonstrated utilizing a polarization maintaining all-fiber loop, consisting of a piece of commercial polarization maintaining fiber and a polarization beam splitter/combiner with polarization maintaining fiber pigtails. A quantum state tomography measurement is performed to analyze the entanglement characteristic of the generated quantum state. In the experiment, a polarization entangled Bell state is generated with a entanglement fidelity of 0.97+/-0.03 and a purity of 0.94+/-0.03 demonstrating that the proposed scheme can realize polarization entangled photon pair generation with polarization maintaining property which is desired in applications of quantum communication and quantum information.
