Abstract

Efficient fiber-coupled single photon sources are demonstrated based on phase-matched coupling between microfiber and linear photonic crystal cavity. Detected count rate over 1 MHz and fiber collection efficiency of 40% are obtained with Purcell enhancement.

Efficient single-photon sources at telecom wavelength with fiber-optic interface (Conference Presentation)

Chang-Min Lee, Mustafa Atabey Buyukkaya, Shahriar Aghaeimeibodi +2 more

Bright fiber-coupled single photon sources are essential components for practical quantum network. In this work, we present a bright single photon source based on an InAs/InP quantum dot emitting at telecom wavelengths. We designed a nanobeam with a photonic crystal mirror at the other end and a tapered coupler at the other end enabling both directional emission and gaussian-like far-field profile. We detected fiber-coupled single photon count rate of 1.1 MHz with 40 MHz pumping rate. Considering losses from optics and spectral filters, we achieved collection efficiency into first lens of 68% and a total fiber collection efficiency of 8.2%.

Direct fiber-coupled single photon source based on a photonic crystal waveguide

Byeong-Hyeon Ahn, Chang-Min Lee, Hee‐Jin Lim +4 more

A single photon source plays a key role in quantum applications such as quantum computers and quantum communications. Epitaxially grown quantum dots are one of the promising platforms to implement a good single photon source. However, it is challenging to realize an efficient single photon source based on semiconductor materials due to their high refractive index. Here we demonstrate a direct fiber coupled single photon source with high collection efficiency by employing a photonic crystal (PhC) waveguide and a tapered micro-fiber. To confirm the single photon nature, the second-order correlation function g(2)(τ) is measured with a Hanbury Brown-Twiss setup. The measured g(2)(0) value is 0.15, and we can estimate 24% direct collection efficiency from a quantum dot to the fiber.

High brightness single mode source of correlated photon pairs using a photonic crystal fiber

Jérémie Fulconis, Olivier Alibart, W. J. Wadsworth +2 more

We demonstrate a picosecond source of correlated photon pairs using a micro-structured fibre with zero dispersion around 715 nm wavelength. The fibre is pumped in the normal dispersion regime at ~708 nm and phase matching is satisfied for widely spaced parametric wavelengths. Here we generate up to 10;7 photon pairs per second in the fibre at wavelengths of 587 nm and 897 nm, while on collecting this light in single-mode-fibre-coupled Silicon avalanche diode photon counting detectors, we detect ~3.2x10;5 coincidences per second at pump power 0.5 mW.
