Abstract

We study experimentally the process of bi-photon generation through spontaneous parametric down-conversion in waveguide arrays. We show the formation of a unique spatial-spectral photon pattern and its dependence on the phase-matching conditions.

Generation of Spectrally Factorizable Counterpropagating Photon Pairs in Photonic Crystal Waveguides

Sina Saravi, Thomas Pertsch, Frank Setzpfandt

We show how photonic crystal waveguides can generate and engineer spectrally factorizable photon pair states, through modally phase-matching a counterpropagating spontaneous parametric down-conversion process, without the need for periodic poling.

Spontaneous Parametric Down-Conversion and Quantum Walks in Arrays of Quadratic Nonlinear Waveguides

Alexander S. Solntsev, Andrey A. Sukhorukov, Dragomir N. Neshev +1 more

We analyze the process of photon-pair generation with simultaneous quantum walks in a quadratic nonlinear waveguide array. We demonstrate that the spontaneous parametric down-conversion in the array allows for creating quantum states with strongly pronounced spatial correlations, which are qualitatively different from those possible in bulk crystals or through quantum walks in linear waveguide arrays. Most importantly, the photon correlations can be controlled entirely classically by varying the spatial profile of the pump beam or the phase-matching conditions.
