The work presented in this thesis, mostly experimental, is based on three main pillars: the concepts of entanglement, Bell¿s inequalities and coherence. Entanglement is a very special type of correlation that can exist between two systems, even if these systems are physically separated by a large distance. Bell¿s inequalities are a window to inquiry fundamental questions about how Nature works at its fundamental level, and it turns out that they can also become tools with practical relevance. Coherence is a fundamental trait of electromagnetic theory, in the classical as well as in the quantum regimes, and it is closely linked to the concept of entanglement. In this thesis we study different platforms aimed at generating entangled states....
