Silicon microring photon-pair and heralded single-photon generation is reported with a spectral brightness of 1.6×108 pairs/s/GHz/mW2, achieving record CAR > 12,000 and heralded second-order self-correlation g(2)(0) < 0.006. Franson interferometry was used to verify time-energy entanglement.

Silicon photonic entangled photon-pair and heralded single photon generation with CAR > 12,000 and g^(2)(0) < 0006

We report measurements of time-frequency entangled photon pairs and heralded single photons at 1550~nm wavelengths generated using a microring resonator pumped optically by a diode laser. Along with a high spectral brightness of pair generation, the conventional metrics used to describe performance, such as Coincidences-to-Accidentals Ratio (CAR), conditional self-correlation [$g^{(2)}(0)$], two-photon energy-time {F}ranson interferometric visibility etc. are shown to reach a high-performance regime not yet achieved by silicon photonics, and attained previously only by crystal, glass and fiber-based pair-generation devices.

Towards Generation of Heralded Time-Frequency-Entangled Photon Pairs

Dashiell L. P. Vitullo, Michael G. Raymer, Brian J. Smith +3 more

Photonic time-frequency entanglement is a promising resource for quantum information processing technologies. We investigate swapping of continuous-variable entanglement in the time-frequency degree of freedom using three-wave mixing in the low-gain regime with the aim of producing heralded biphoton states with high purity and low multi-pair probability. Heralding is achieved by combining one photon from each of two biphoton sources via sum-frequency generation to create a herald photon. We present a realistic model with pulsed pumps, investigate the effects of resolving the frequency of the herald photon, and find that frequency-resolving measurement of the herald photon is necessary to produce high-purity biphotons. We also find a trade-off between the rate of successful entanglement swapping and both the purity and quantified entanglement resource (negativity) of the heralded biphoton state.
