Abstract

We present the realization of an inhomogeneously poled nonlinear waveguide array for the generation of photon pairs. The device is characterized by coincidence counting and a novel method based on reversed sum-frequency generation measurements.

Bell State Generation and Pump Filtering Using Inhomogeneously Poled Nonlinear Waveguides

James Titchener, Alexander S. Solntsev, Andrey A. Sukhorukov

We show that special domain poling patterns in arrays of coupled nonlinear waveguides can allow shaping of the photon pair wavefunction produced by down-conversion. This allows pump filtering and the reconfigurable generation of Bell states.

Photon pair generation in quadratic waveguide arrays: A classical optical simulation

Markus Gräfe, Alexander S. Solntsev, Robert Keil +5 more

This work reveals that linear propagation of classical light beams can be used to simulate the nonlinear effect of SPDC leading to photon pair generation and quantum random walks of the generated biphotons. In particular, the authors demonstrate that the quantum correlations of biphotons generated in a quadratically nonlinear 1D waveguide array can be mapped onto a linear beam propagation in specially designed 2D array of coupled optical waveguides. This analogy enables us to simulate, with classical light, the quantum coincidence counts for biphotons including the regime of breaking a 1D Bell like inequality as indicated by positve values of the non-classicality.

We propose special poling of quadratic nonlinear waveguide arrays enabling generation of photon pairs in any path entangled quantum state. Real-time switching between output quantum states can be achieved by varying classical input laser amplitudes.

We demonstrate that generation and quantum walks of biphotons with non-classical spatial correlations in nonlinear waveguide arrays is tolerant to losses for different pump regimes, and suggest quick loss characterization approach based on nonlinear spectroscopy.
