Abstract

We demonstrate the first 1550 nm correlated photon-pair source in a highly nonlinear integrated glass waveguide. A pair coincidence rate of 80 s−1 was achieved with the correlation ratio limited by Raman effects.

Generation of correlated photon pairs in a chalcogenide As2S3 waveguide

C. Xiong, G. D. Marshall, Alberto Peruzzo +16 more

We demonstrate a 1550 nm correlated photon-pair source in an integrated glass platform—a chalcogenide As2S3 waveguide. A measured pair coincidence rate of 80s−1 was achieved using 57 mW of continuous-wave pump. The coincidence to accidental ratio was shown to be limited by spontaneous Raman scattering effects that are expected to be mitigated by using a pulsed pump source.

Low Raman-noise correlated photon-pair generation in a dispersion-engineered chalcogenide As_2S_3 planar waveguide

Matthew J. Collins, Alex S. Clark, Jiakun He +9 more

We demonstrate low Raman-noise correlated photon-pair generation in a dispersion-engineered 10 mm As2S3 chalcogenide waveguide at room temperature. We show a coincidence-to-accidental ratio (CAR) of 16.8, a 250 times increase compared with previously published results in a chalcogenide waveguide, with a corresponding brightness of 3×10(5) pairs·s(-1)·nm(-1) generated at the chip. Dispersion engineering of our waveguide enables photon passbands to be placed in the low spontaneous Raman scattering (SpRS) window at 7.4 THz detuning from the pump. This Letter shows the potential for As2S3 chalcogenide to be used for nonlinear quantum photonic devices.

Correlated Photon Pair Generation in Chalcogenide As2S3 Photonic Integrated Circuits

We theoretically investigate correlated photon pair generation using spontaneous four-wave mixing in As2S3 waveguides. We show that chalcogenide photonic chip based pair source will exhibit high brightness and correlation if the dispersion is properly engineered.

Quantum-correlated photon pair generation in chalcogenide As_2S_3 waveguides

Chunle Xiong, L. G. Helt, A. C. Judge +4 more

We theoretically investigate the generation of quantum-correlated photon pairs through spontaneous four-wave mixing in chalcogenide As(2)S(3) waveguides. For reasonable pump power levels, we show that such photonic-chip-based photon-pair sources can exhibit high brightness (approximately 1 x 10(9) pairs/s) and high correlation (approximately 100) if the waveguide length is chosen properly or the waveguide dispersion is engineered. Such a high correlation is possible in the presence of Raman scattering because the Raman profile exhibits a low gain window at a Stokes shift of 7.4 THz, though it is constrained due to multi-pair generation. As the proposed scheme is based on photonic chip technologies, it has the potential to become an integrated platform for the implementation of on-chip quantum technologies.

Correlated photon pairs are generated via spontaneous-four-wave-mixing in a 10 mm As2S3 waveguide. With photon channels detuned to the low spontaneous Raman window at 7.4 THz, a room temperature coincidence-to-accidental ratio of 7.6 was measured.
