Entanglement is an essential key for quantum-information and communication applications. Here, we present a method to generate single-mode EPR-entanglement via narrowband spectral filtering of multimode type-II parametric down-conversion [1]. In the framework of continuous variables [2] we show that due to the filtering process all higher-order modes are effectively suppressed. Performing a subsequent mode optimization algorithm [3] reveals that the filtered output contains EPR-squeezing in a single optical mode indeed.
