Abstract

In this paper, we propose the generation of hyperentangled photon pairs using type-II spontaneous parametric down-conversion in a biperiod, 5% MgO-doped lithium-niobate ridge waveguide. The photon pairs are entangled in spatial mode and polarization degrees of freedom. A pulsed laser source at 687 nm, having an antisymmetric Hermite-Gaussian HG (1,0) spatial mode, is considered as the pump. Down-converted photon pairs, with the signal being at the telecommunication wavelength of 1550 nm, are characterized through a joint spectral amplitude analysis of their biphoton state.
