The generation of entangled photon pairs using an optimal pump wavefront was realized in order to achieve a desirable free-space propagation. This optimization exploits a closed loop whis is based on a deformable mirror, a nonlinear crystal for spontaneous parametric down-conversion, the free-space propagation line and the single-photon coincidence electronics.
