NASA is developing quantum metrology capabilities for potential space-based quantum components in future navigation and communications systems. Innate knowledge of component operation is key for the space qualification of these components. This paper focuses on the measurement and analysis of an important characteristic of an entanglement source, the joint spectrum. We describe a spectrometer based on dispersive optical fibers and present experimental measurements of the joint spectrum of a highly non-degenerate SPDC-based entanglement source that emits entangled photons in the near-infrared and telecommunications bands. How the analysis of such a joint spectrum could be applied to the modeling and simulation of entanglement swapping operations as possible extensions of quantum networks is examined. Lastly, we discuss how the separability of the two-photon state is quantified via Schmidt decomposition and how the degree of separability impacts the spectral purity of heralded single-photon emissions.
