A technique is presented for improving the ratio of entangled photons to un-entangled photons for any means of generation. The approach takes advantage of the entangled nature of the photons of interest and their concomitant temporal coherence length, to separate that component by a combination of beam convergence, destructive interference, Faraday-Rotators, polarising filters and then beam divergence. The method applies to energy-time entangled photons and matter waves too.

This paper discusses a means of making an extremely bright path entangled source. An initial laser source is preferred but any source of light: LED, sub-critical laser, coherent or thermal can be used. The light is dimmed by a beam expander until the relative number of |1> or |2> photons increases compared to higher photon states. The expanded beam is then passed through a 1:1 beamsplitter to generate path entanglement on the |1> and |2> photons. A further stage of "purification" can remove the non-entangled higher states by passing the output beams from the beamsplitter through one another, such that the correlated entangled photon electrical fields cancel in some region. In the said region, the uncorrelated non-entangled fields can be Faraday rotated and then absorbed by a polariser. The entangled photons pass through the region without rotation and attenuation. The output from the device then has copious quantities of 1 and 2 photon path entangled suitable for use in telecommunications engineering, secure transmission of data and quantum metrology. The wide beams can be beam-contracted to a thin bright beam and will keep the path entanglement of individual photons, as photons are bosons and so don't interact, furthermore, all operations are unitary and linear, as by Maxwell's equations.
Our unique approach of using entangled photons instead of photons in laser pulses could allow us to reach the zeptosecond regime. This will require considerable experimental effort and is likely possible on the timescale of five years." [38]

In this report the decoherence sources for entangled photons created by spontaneous parametric down conversion phenomenon is studied. The phase and spatial distinguishability of photon pairs from orthogonal crystals reduce the maximum achievable entanglement fidelity. Carefully chosen compensation crystals are used to erase the phase and spatial traces of down conversion origins. Emission angle of photon pairs also leads to optical path difference and resulting in phase distinguishability. A realistic scenario is numerically modelled, where the photon pairs with nonzero emission angle gather a phase difference. These pairs can still be collected and manipulated for practical use but the collection optics adds upon the phase difference. Two commercially available optics for collection; aspheric and achromatic lenses are compared. The numerical simulation results are compared with the experimental results to validate the built model for predicting the maximum achievable entanglement f...

Quantum entanglement is an important action in quantum mechanics. Basically, quantum entanglement of correlated photon pairs can be produced by spontaneous down-conversion process inside the two birefringence crystals. This work aims to create a pair of photons, i.e. signal and idler, that are entangled and to assay the relation between these photons by using polarization-entangled photon pairs to demonstrate quantum non-locality by comparing with the Malus’s law. From the experiments, the coincidence counts as a function of relative angle (α - β) between transmission axis of the polarizer and analyzer were obtained and the polarization entanglement curve was demonstrated. This result corresponding with polarization entanglement prediction term of ½ cos2 (α - β) which confirmed the entanglement of photons.
