  We present a versatile, high-brightness, guided-wave source of polarization
entangled photons, emitted at a telecom wavelength. Photon-pairs are generated
using an integrated type-0 nonlinear waveguide, and subsequently prepared in a
polarization entangled state via a stabilized fiber interferometer. We show
that the single photon emission wavelength can be tuned over more than 50 nm,
whereas the single photon spectral bandwidth can be chosen at will over more
than five orders of magnitude (from 25 MHz to 4 THz). Moreover, by performing
entanglement analysis, we demonstrate a high degree of control of the quantum
state via the violation of the Bell inequalities by more than 40 standard
deviations. This makes this scheme suitable for a wide range of quantum optics
experiments, ranging from fundamental research to quantum information
applications. We report on details of the setup, as well as on the
characterization of all included components, previously outlined in F. Kaiser
et al. (2013 Laser Phys. Lett. 10, 045202).
