Theoretical framework of entangled-photon generation from biexcitons in nano-to-bulk crossover regime

Motoaki Bamba, Hajime Ishihara

Published Apr 3, 2011• 0 citations

Abstract

We have constructed a theoretical framework of the biexciton-resonant hyperparametric scattering for the pursuit of high-power and high-quality generation of entangled photon pairs. Our framework is applicable to nano-to-bulk crossover regime where the center-of-mass motion of excitons and biexcitons is confined. We can also consider material surroundings and the polarization correlation of generated photons. Analyzing the thickness dependence of the entangled-photon generation, we have revealed that the crossover regime generally show a high performance from the viewpoint of statistical accuracy, and the generation efficiency can beenhanced by an optical cavity with maintaining the high performance. The crossover regime has a variety of degrees of freedom to tune the entangled-photon generation, and the scattering spectra explicitly reflect quantized excitonphoton coupled modes in the finite structure.

Generation of entangled-photon pairs from biexcitons in CuCl thin films: Nano-to-bulk crossover regime

Motoaki Bamba, Hajime Ishihara

We have constructed a theoretical framework of biexciton-resonant hyperparametric scattering for pursuit of high-power and high-quality generation of entangled-photon pairs. Our framework is applicable to the nano-to-bulk crossover regime where the center-of-mass motions of excitons and biexcitons are confined and material surroundings and the polarization correlation of generated photons can be considered. We have analyzed the generation of ultraviolet entangled photons from CuCl film with and without dielectric microcavity and revealed that in the nano-to-bulk crossover regime we generally get a high performance from the viewpoint of statistical accuracy and the generation efficiency can be enhanced by the optical cavity while maintaining the high performance. The nano-to-bulk crossover regime has a variety of degrees of freedom to control the entangled-photon generation, and the scattering spectra explicitly reflect quantized exciton-photon coupled modes in finite structures.

Entangled-Photon Generation in Nano-to-Bulk Crossover Regime

Motoaki Bamba, Hajime Ishihara

We have theoretically investigated the generation of entangled photons from biexcitons in a semiconductor film with a thickness in the nano-to-bulk crossover regime. In contrast with the cases of quantum dots and bulk materials, we can highly control the generated state of entangled photons through the design of a peculiar energy structure of exciton-photon coupled modes in the thickness range between nanometers and micrometers. Owing to the enhancement of the radiative decay rate of excitons (exciton superradiance), the statistical accuracy of generated photons can be increased beyond the trade-off problem with signal intensity. By implementing an optical cavity structure in the strong-coupling regime, the generation efficiency can be enhanced while maintaining the high statistical accuracy.

Entangled‐photon generation via biexcitons in nano‐structures

Motoaki Bamba, Hajime Ishihara

Abstract We have constructed quantum electrodynamics theory for excitons whose center‐of‐mass motion is confined in arbitrary‐structured dielectrics with considering their nonlocal optical susceptibility. We systematically investigate entangled‐photon generation via biexcitons in nano‐to‐macro scale materials by this theory. It is revealed that nano‐structured materials provide scattering spectra explicitly reflecting quantum states of confined exciton‐polaritons and are promising sources of entangled photons from the viewpoints of both efficiency and signal‐to‐noise ratio.

Theory of entangled-photon generation via cavity bipolaritons

Hisaki Oka, Hajime Ishihara

Nonlinear optical response of cavity polaritons formed in high-g semiconductor microcavities has attracted much attention because of their potential applications to entangled-photon sources and other quantum information technologies. Theoretical ideas of entangled-photon generation, e.g., biexcitonic cavity quantum electrodynamics and polariton-polariton scattering, have been suggested, however these theories are limited in scope of target because they restrict two-exciton states to either biexciton or unbound two-exciton states. As for exciton system with small binding energy of biexciton, it is likely that the interplay between the biexciton and unbound two-exciton states have much impact on generation efficiency of entangled photons. The authors introduces a general model including both biexciton and unbound two-exciton states and discuss generation efficiency of entangled photons.

Generation of entangled photons via biexciton-resonant hyper-parametric scattering

Goro Oohata, Ryōsuke Shimizu, Keiichi Edamatsu

We demonstrate the entangled photon pair generation via biexciton-resonant hyper parametric scattering in CuCl crystal. Quantum tomographic analysis of the polarization correlation measurements showed that the generated photon pairs had a high degree of polarization entanglement, in consequence of J=0 angular momentum of the biexciton state.
