Abstract
Photon-based entanglement sources, crucial for obtaining entangled states, are typically generated via spontaneous parametric down-conversion. However, birefringence in nonlinear crystals causes spatial or temporal walk-off, reducing entangled photon quality. The theoretical analysis attributes birefringent walk-off to dispersive materials curbed by pre- and post-compensation. We experimentally validate this method, enhancing polarization-entangled photon quality. We measured the Bell state along with a violation of CHSH-Bell's inequality by ∼366 standard deviations (S = 2.623 ± 0.0017). Our approach, simple and stable, does not complicate setups. Its applicability extends to optimizing various entanglement source schemes, aiding optical quantum technologies such as computation, sensing, and communication.
