Hello! In my summer lab, me and my labmates are trying to generate entangled photon pairs using a spontaneous parametric down-conversion (SPDC) entanglement source with BBO crystals. We're using a 405 nm diode laser from Matchbox with model number 405L-21A. Our setup is as follows: we shine the...

We ended up writing a program to correct for the blurriness in the interference. We gave up trying to fix it haha.

We don't have that equipment. What would you suggest?

Hi! I'm working in a lab this summer doing quantum optics, and my team is working on a Mach-Zehnder interferometer setup. We got it well aligned and interference fringes appeared as expected. However, soon after building it, the fringes began to fade in and out of view without us changing...
