Abstract

Two-photon emission/absorption in semiconductor is used for quantum transceivers. Microcavity TPE is a source for entangled photons. TPA detects single photons in silicon APD's. 3 orders of magnitude improvement vs. conventional schemes is predicted

Electrically induced two-photon transparency in semiconductors

Alex Hayat, Amir Nevet, Meir Orenstein

Two-photon emission (TPE) in semiconductors was recently observed, enabling possible realizations of efficient room temperature electrically-driven heralded single-photon sources, entanglement sources, two-photon amplifiers and lasers allowing ultra-short optical pulse generation based on the nonlinearity and the wide bandwidth of two-photon gain. Two-photon lasers (TPL) based on stimulated TPE have unique microscopic quantum properties such as squeezed state operation as well as macroscopic ones including threshold dependence on cavity photon number and bi-stability, while pushing further the modulation speed limit. Semiconductor high charge carrier concentrations, mature fabrication technology and the possibility for electrical control offer many advantages for the implementation of TPLs and two-photon amplifiers. The first step towards realizing of semiconductor two-photon amplifiers or TPLs is to achieve two-photon transparency (TPT) condition, which is reported here for the first time in semiconductors (or any solid state medium).

Towards Hyperentanglement via Semiconductor Two-Photon Emission

Alex Hayat, Pavel Ginzburg, David Neiman +2 more

A novel phenomenon of semiconductor two-photon emission is presented experimentally. Based on this effect, we propose implementations of compact highly-efficient room-temperature sources of entangled photons (inter-band transitions in a microcavity) and hyperentangled photons (inter-subband transitions).

We investigate a new phenomenon of semiconductor two-photon emission presenting the first experiments. This allows implementation of compact highly-efficient room-temperature sources of entangled (for microcavity interband transitions) and hyperentangled (for intersubband transitions) photons.
