Towards Raman-free Generation of Photon Pairs in Liquid-Filled Hollow-Core Photonic Crystal Fibers

Abstract

We present a new fibered architecture for generation of correlated photon pairs, in which the deleterious influence of Raman photons has been highly reduced by filling the core of a microstructured fiber with a liquid.

Four-wave mixing in liquid-filled hollow-core photonic-crystal fibers allows (i) to engineer the two-photon state to produce either pure heralded single photons or polarization-entangled photon pairs (ii) to reduce the Raman scattering noise.

Spontaneous four-wave mixing in liquid-core fibers: towards fibered Raman-free correlated photon sources

Margaux Barbier, Isabelle Zaquine, Philippe Delaye

We experimentally demonstrate, for the first time to our knowledge, the generation of correlated photon pairs in a liquid-core photonic crystal fiber. Moreover, we show that, thanks to the specific Raman properties of liquids, the Raman noise (which is the main limitation of the performance of silica-core fiber-based correlated photon pair sources) is highly reduced. With a demonstrated coincident-to-accidental ratio equal to 63 and a pair generation efficiency of about 10 −4 per pump pulse, this work contributes to the development of high-quality correlated photon pair sources for quantum communications.
