Abstract

We generate correlated photon pairs at 839 nm and 1392 nm from a single-mode photonic crystal fiber pumped in the normal dispersion regime. This compact, bright, tunable, single-mode source of pair-photons will have wide application in quantum communications.

High brightness single mode source of correlated photon pairs using a photonic crystal fiber

Jérémie Fulconis, Olivier Alibart, W. J. Wadsworth +2 more

We demonstrate a picosecond source of correlated photon pairs using a micro-structured fibre with zero dispersion around 715 nm wavelength. The fibre is pumped in the normal dispersion regime at ~708 nm and phase matching is satisfied for widely spaced parametric wavelengths. Here we generate up to 10;7 photon pairs per second in the fibre at wavelengths of 587 nm and 897 nm, while on collecting this light in single-mode-fibre-coupled Silicon avalanche diode photon counting detectors, we detect ~3.2x10;5 coincidences per second at pump power 0.5 mW.

Photonic Crystal Fiber Source of Quantum Correlated Photon Pairs in the 1550 nm Telecom Band

Cui Liang, Xiaoying Li, Fan Hai-Yang +2 more

A source of quantum correlated photon pairs in the 1550nm telecom band obtained by a pumping 11m photonic crystal fiber with 10 ps pulse trains is experimentally demonstrated. We investigate how the birefringence of the fiber influences the purity of the photon pairs. We also present the frequency correlation of the signal and idler photon pairs. The experimental results are useful for developing a compact source of photon pairs well suited for quantum communication.

Photonic crystal fibre sources of correlated photon pairs

John Rarity, Jérémie Fulconis, J. Alinat +2 more

The paper reviews a new source of time-correlated photon pairs based on phase matched four-wave mixing in an optical fiber. This source has the potential to replace sources based on a non-linear birefringent crystals and waveguides. It generates linear polarised photon pairs in a narrow bandwidth, single circular mode which can be efficiently coupled into single mode fibres. We generate the parametric gain by pumping with a laser wavelength slightly below the zero dispersion wavelength, in the normal dispersion regime.

By adjusting the central wavelength of pump, we generate wavelength tunable photon pairs via spontaneous four wave mixing in a photonics crystal fiber. The tuning range of the signal/idler photons is from 1310/757 nm to 1610/880 nm.
