Abstract

We demonstrate delay modulation of entangled photons over a full 32-ns span, utilizing pump frequency tuning and ultralong fiber Bragg gratings. Electro-optic modulators enable time-bin switching rates as fast as 2.5 MHz.

High-speed switching of biphoton delays through electro-optic pump frequency modulation

Ogaga D. Odele, Joseph M. Lukens, José A. Jaramillo-Villegas +5 more

The realization of high-speed tunable delay control has received significant attention in the scene of classical photonics. In quantum optics, however, such rapid delay control systems for entangled photons have remained undeveloped. Here for the first time, we demonstrate rapid (2.5 MHz) modulation of signal-idler arrival times through electro-optic pump frequency modulation. Our technique applies the quantum phenomenon of nonlocal dispersion cancellation along with pump frequency tuning to control the relative delay between photon pairs. Chirped fiber Bragg gratings are employed to provide large amounts of dispersion which result in biphoton delays exceeding 30 ns. This rapid delay modulation scheme could be useful for on-demand single-photon distribution in addition to quantum versions of pulse position modulation.

Electro-optic modulation for high-speed characterization of entangled photon pairs

Joseph M. Lukens, Ogaga D. Odele, Daniel E. Leaird +1 more

We demonstrate a new biphoton manipulation and characterization technique based on electro-optic intensity modulation and time shifting. By applying fast modulation signals with a sharply peaked cross-correlation to each photon from an entangled pair, it is possible to measure temporal correlations with significantly higher precision than that attainable using standard single-photon detection. Low-duty-cycle pulses and maximal-length sequences are considered as modulation functions, reducing the time spread in our correlation measurement by a factor of five compared to our detector jitter. With state-of-the-art electro-optic components, we expect the potential to surpass the speed of any single-photon detectors currently available.
