We consider a compact and low-cost setup based on a two-crystal scheme with Type-I phase matching. We study the effect of the pump coherence time over the entangled state visibility and over the violation of Bell's inequality, as a function of the crystals length. The full density matrix is reconstructed by quantum tomography. The proposed theoretical model is verified using a purification protocol based on a compensation crystal.10 pages, 11 figuresQuantum PhysicsProperties of entangled photon pairs generated by a CW laser with small coherence time: theory and experimenttext
