Abstract

We calculate the properties of a biphoton source based on resonant backward-wave spontaneous parametric down conversion.We show that the biphotons are generated in a single longitudinal mode having a subnatural linewidth and a Glauber correlation time exceeding 65 ns.

A miniature ultrabright source of temporally long, narrowband biphotons

Chih‐Sung Chuu, G. Y. Yin, Stephen E. Harris

We demonstrate a miniature source of long biphotons utilizing the cluster effect and double-pass pumping in a monolithic doubly resonant parametric down-converter. We obtain a biphoton correlation time of 17.1 ns with a generation rate of 1.10×105 biphotons/(s mW) and an estimated linewidth of 8.3 MHz.

We describe the generation of time-energy entangled bipotons with a subnatural linewidth and a correlation time of about 100 ns. We use electromagnetically-induced transparency in a 85Rb two-dimensional magneto-optical trap.

Using a monolithic doubly resonant parametric down-converter, we demonstrate an ultrabright source of subnatural linewidth, temporally long single photons at the rubidium D1 line. The single photons have a spectral brightness one order-of-magnitude higher than previously reported and a waveform controllable by electro-optic modulation. Applications to several areas of quantum communication, quantum memories, and quantum key distribution are possible.

We report on the first-time generation of biphotons via spontaneous parametric down-conversion driven by Mie-type resonances in subwavelength metasurfaces. The measured biphoton spectrum reveals that emission predominantly occurs at the resonant wavelength of the metasurface.
