  We demonstrate a scheme to spectrally manipulate a collinear, continuous
stream of time and energy entangled photons to generate beamlike,
bandwidth-limited fuxes of polarization-entangled photons with
nearly-degenerate wavelengths. Utilizing an ultrashort-pulse shaper to control
the spectral phase and polarization of the photon pairs, we tailor the shape of
the Hong-Ou-Mandel interference pattern, demonstrating the rules that govern
the dependence of this interference pattern on the spectral phases of the
photons. We then use the pulse shaper to generate all four polarization Bell
states. The singlet state generated by this scheme forms a very robust
decoherence-free subspace, extremely suitable for long distance fiber-optics
based quantum communication.
