Abstract

The first experimental observation of two-photon emission from semiconductors provides efficient compact room-temperature entangled photons sources for quantum information and spectroscopy, whereas the measured two-photon gain may lead to novel lasers emitting ultrashort optical pulses.

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).

Hyperentanglement source by intersubband two-photon emission from semiconductor quantum wells

Alex Hayat, Pavel Ginzburg, David Neiman +2 more

We propose an efficient hyperentanglement source emitting photon pairs entangled in both energy and polarization. The compact electrically driven room-temperature source, based on intersubband two-photon emission from semiconductor quantum wells (QWs) exhibits pair generation rates several orders of magnitude higher than alternative conventional schemes. A theoretical formalism is derived for the calculation of photon pair generation spectra and rates. The results are presented for superlattice structures similar to quantum cascade lasers of GaAs/AlGaAs QWs emitting in the mid-IR and far-IR and for InN/AlN QW structures suitable for telecommunication wavelengths.
