Abstract

We construct an ultrafast biphoton correlator with a record pair conversion efficiency of 10−5 based on sum-frequency generation in a PPLN waveguide, enabling us to demonstrate high-order dispersion cancellation for the first time.

Demonstration of High-Order Dispersion Cancellation with an Ultrahigh-Efficiency Sum-Frequency Correlator

Joseph M. Lukens, Amir Dezfooliyan, Carsten Langrock +3 more

We demonstrate dispersion cancellation of entangled photons for arbitrary spectral orders, generalizing Franson cancellation typically considered in second order alone. Employing ultrafast coincidence detection based on sum-frequency generation in a periodically poled lithium niobate waveguide with a record-high pair conversion efficiency of 10(-5), we verify cancellation of dispersion up to fifth order. Cancellation of odd-order phase is experimentally shown to require identical signal and idler dispersion coefficients, in contrast to even-order phase, which cancels with opposite signs. These results are especially important for future work on ultrabroadband biphotons.

We describe and demonstrate a novel approach for controlling the temporal position of the biphoton correlation by pump frequency tuning. Our method relies on precise waveguide engineering as well as the nonlocal dispersion cancellation effect.

Observations of Dispersion Cancellation of Entangled Photon Pairs

Kevin A. O’Donnell

An experimental study of the dispersion cancellation occurring in frequency-entangled photon pairs is presented. The approach uses time-resolved up-conversion of the pairs, which has temporal resolution at the femtosecond level, and group-delay dispersion sensitivity of $\ensuremath{\approx}20\text{ }\text{ }{\mathrm{fs}}^{2}$ under experimental conditions. The cancellation is demonstrated with dispersion stronger than $\ifmmode\pm\else\textpm\fi{}{10}^{3}\text{ }\text{ }{\mathrm{fs}}^{2}$ in the signal ($\ensuremath{-}$) and idler ($+$) modes.
