Abstract
We present a simple but highly efficient source of polarization entangled photons based on SPDC in bulk PPKTP. Utilizing the highest available nonlinear coefficient in a type 0 collinear configuration, as well as an optimized geometry of the setup, we expect to exceed the brightness achieved in current schemes by at least an order of magnitude.
