13. In collinear type-I SPDC, the SPDC ring overlaps with the pump beam. In this case, however, photon pair cannot be spatially separated unless they have different wavelengths.

19. In Ref. [13], the authors report the coincidence/single ratio of 28.6% without using interference filters. With beamlike type-II SPDC, some sort of spectral filtering is necessary because dual wavelengths exist at ≈ ± 3.5° emission angles.

27. Polarization-entangled state generation scheme shown in Fig. 2, in fact, generates post-selected polarization-entangled states, i.e., the amplitudes (both photons leaving the beamsplitter via the same output port) that do not contribute to a coincidence count are ignored.
