Abstract

We propose >99% efficient wideband frequency conversion between visible and telecommunication bands for quantum networks and single-photon detection, enabled by the enhanced phase matching capabilities offered by intermodal Bragg scattering in OAM fibers.

Coherent frequency conversion for quantum information processing

Stéphane Clemmen

Efficient frequency conversion is crucial for interfacing photons with a variety of quantum systems ranging from matter qubits (color centers, quantum dots, atoms), optical fibers, detectors, that often operate at widely different wavelengths. Frequency conversion is also a resource to process quantum information.1, 2 Parametric processes such as sum frequency generation (SFG) and Bragg scattering four wave mixing (BS-FWM) offer a good versatility for such frequency conversion. It is well understood that those nonlinear processes have to be strong enough and satisfy phase matching to achieve a high conversion efficiency. While it is enough to consider those two aspects for moderate conversion efficiency up to 50%, the analysis is a bit more complicated when targeting efficiencies closely approaching unity. We are reviewing the pitfall that must be avoided to indeed reach near unity frequency transduction.

Continuously Tunable Frequency Conversion in Germanium Doped Photonic Crystal Fiber Pumped Near Degeneracy

Leah R. Murphy, Mateusz J. Olszewski, Petros Androvitsaneas +5 more

Large-scale quantum networks comprise various components such as photon sources and transmission lines, which operate at diverse wavelengths. The optimal transmission window through solid silica optical fibre is around 1.55 μm while efficient single-photon sources based on InAs quantum dots (QDs) operate in the range of 900–950 nm [1]. High indistinguishability between photons is also required to realise many quantum information technologies but any two dots seldom emit at the same exact wavelength [2] and sending photons through a quantum network may distort their spectra. Parametric nonlinear processes, such as Bragg-Scattering four wave mixing (BS-FWM), enable frequency conversion of photons while preserving their quantum properties [3],[4].

180-nm wavelength conversion based on Bragg scattering in an optical fiber

David Méchin, Richard Provo, J.D. Harvey +1 more

Efficient, wideband and tunable optical wavelength conversion over 180 nm by four-wave mixing (Bragg scattering) in a fiber is demonstrated experimentally. This process has the potential to translate optical data (states of light) without the noise pollution associated with parametric amplification and spontaneous Raman scattering.
