Abstract: The generation of entangled photons is provided by two-photon emission by an emission center immersed in an optical microcavity (MC). The MC is designed to reduce or to suppress the emission of single photons at the fundamental emission wavelength (?g) of the emitter and increase the emission for the two-photon emission wavelength (2?g). A reflector is added only to reflect single photons and will not reflect the biphotons.
