Efficient single-photon-level quantum frequency conversion on a silicon nanophotonic chip

Qing Li, Marcelo Davanço, Kartik A. Srinivasan

We demonstrate frequency conversion of single-photon-level signals with an efficiency of 25% and signal-to-noise level >20:1, via four-wave-mixing Bragg scattering in a Si3N4 microring using low power (<20 mW per pump), continuous wave pump lasers.

Kartik A. Srinivasan, Qing Li, Marcelo Davanço

We present the development of silicon nitride microresonators for quantum frequency conversion over both narrow and wide spectral translation ranges, including efficient, low-noise conversion of single-photon-level signals and progress towards application to quantum dot single-photon-sources.

A chip-scale, telecommunications-band frequency conversion interface for quantum emitters

Imad H. Agha, Serkan Ateş, Marcelo Davanço +1 more

We describe a chip-scale, telecommunications-band frequency conversion interface designed for low-noise operation at wavelengths desirable for common single photon emitters. Four-wave-mixing Bragg scattering in silicon nitride waveguides is used to demonstrate frequency upconversion and downconversion between the 980 nm and 1550 nm wavelength regions, with signal-to-background levels > 10 and conversion efficiency of ≈ -60 dB at low continuous wave input pump powers (< 50 mW). Finite element simulations and the split-step Fourier method indicate that increased input powers of ≈ 10 W (produced by amplified nanosecond pulses, for example) will result in a conversion efficiency > 25 % in existing geometries. Finally, we present waveguide designs that can be used to connect shorter wavelength (637 nm to 852 nm) quantum emitters with 1550 nm.
