Abstract
The realization of an ancilla-free 1→2 phase-covariant quantum cloner was discussed. It was found that the cloner was realized by interfering a linearly polarized photon which was desired to clone with a circularly polarized photon at a beam splitter. The fidelity of the cloning was calculated from the peak and base values of the H-H coincidences. It was observed that the fidelity of the cloner was 0.829±0.008 for the 0/90 basis.
