Crystalline Whispering Gallery Mode Resonators (WGMR) made from nonlinear materials have been proven to be compact and efficient sources of quantum states, e.g. squeezed states [1] or narrow-band heralded single photons[2,3]. Another feature of WGMR is, that it is possible to couple two pump beams propagating in opposite directions at the same time. As a result, we can treat the WGMR similar to a Sagnac interferometer which is simultaneously a pair of two independent and indistinguishable SPDC sources. Combined, these features make WGMR a potential platform for developing compact and narrow-band entanglement sources.
In our presentation, we discuss the concept and progress of developing a compact polarization entanglement source based on a WGMR that is pumped from two directions.
