Abstract

In this paper, the author present a fully packaged integrated optical circuit comprising a waveguide type II spontaneous parametric down-conversion (SPDC) source, an integrated polarisation splitter and a pump rejector. It represents a first example of an integrated circuit in LiNbO₃ for quantum information processing and quantum cryptography.
