Abstract
We demonstrate generation of hyperentangled (time-bin and polarization) photon pairs via four-wave mixing in a microstructure-fiber Sagnac interferometer. The two-photon interference visibility in the time-bin (polarization) degree of freedom is without subtraction of accidental coincidences, and Bell’s inequality is violated by 27 standard deviations at a coincidence rate.
