Laser source for quantum metrology/information

What are the important factors in the choice of laser sources for quantum information/metrology applications
1. Specifically if I want an pulsed q switched Nd-Yag with 2,3 4 harmonic generation.
2. Repetition rate
3. Peak power for producing entangled photons by PDC
etc

4. Are low power diode lasers sufficient
