Abstract

We describe a design for phase-matched Bragg scattering for single-photon conversion between two arbitrary frequencies. The bandwidth of the Bragg scattering process is calculated and immunity against competing processes is discussed.

Optimizing optical Bragg scattering for single-photon frequency conversion

Simon Lefrançois, Alex S. Clark, Benjamin J. Eggleton

We develop a systematic theory for optimizing single-photon frequency conversion using optical Bragg scattering in third-order nonlinear media. The efficiency and phase-matching conditions for the desired Bragg scattering conversion as well as spurious scattering and modulation instability are identified. We find that third-order dispersion can suppress unwanted processes, while dispersion above the fourth order limits the maximum conversion efficiency. We apply the optimization conditions to frequency conversion in highly nonlinear fiber, silicon nitride waveguides, and silicon nanowires. Efficient conversion is confirmed using full numerical simulations. These design rules will assist the development of efficient quantum frequency conversion between multicolor single-photon sources for integration in complex quantum networks.

Fiber characterization for single-photon frequency conversion applications

Clélia Deroo-Blanquart, Vincent Pêcheur, Stéphane Clemmen

Bragg Scattering Four-Wave mixing (BS-4WM) is used in fibers to frequency shift single photons. We investigate how its phase matching condition can be controlled by changing the fiber temperature. We then are able to optimize the efficiency of the BS-4WM process for selected wavelengths that will ultimately allow a scheme of active multiplexing of single photons.
