Abstract
Spontaneous parametric downconversion is an essential technique in quantum optics experiments. In this paper, various quasi-phase-matching processes in several typical periodically polarized nonlinear materials are analyzed and calculated. Furthermore, a general method for realizing multiple types of quasi-phase-matching in a monolithic material is presented. Finally, a novel design to prepare multiple entangled photon pairs based on the Sagnac interferometer is discussed. This technology can be applied to tiny optical paths in the telecom C band, saving both cost and space.
