Abstract

We report a comb-like frequency-bin entangled photon pair source with a high coincidence to accidental ratio in a silicon nitride microring resonator. We measured a Schmidt number of 4.0, thus verifying high degree of time-frequency entanglement.

Comb-Like Photon Pair Generation in Silicon Nitride Microring Resonators

José A. Jaramillo-Villegas, Poolad Imany, Ogaga D. Odele +6 more

We report a comb-like photon pair source with a high Coincidence to Accidental Ratio (CAR) in a silicon nitride microring resonator. We are able to generate up to 10 sideband pairs with a free spectral range of 378 GHz. We characterized the time and frequency correlations between th1ese sidebands via joint spectral intensity measurement. Additionally, we mapped the frequency correlations into time by applying dispersion to the photon pairs with a chirped fiber Bragg grating.

We demonstrate a high spectral purity photon-pair source using a dual-asymmetric interferometer-coupled silicon nitride microring resonator. By engineering the Q -factors to yield a Q biphoton / Q pump ratio of ~4.75, our measurements suggest a Schmidt number K = 1.0089.

Twin-photon generation in a silicon nitride microresonator

Franz Pacher, Haochen Yan, Alekhya Ghosh +8 more

Photonic chips with silicon nitride ($\mathrm{Si_3N_4}$) microring resonators are well established as heralded single-photon sources, but their operation as frequency-degenerate twin-photon sources has not previously been demonstrated. Here, we realise a twin-photon source at telecommunication wavelengths in a $\mathrm{Si_3N_4}$ ring microresonator via an inverse four-wave mixing (FWM) process, in which two photons from spectrally distinct pumps are converted into a pair of identical twin photons. The measurements show a maximum coincidence-to-accidental ratio (CAR) of $5.4\pm0.6$. In addition, the microresonator functions as a heralded single-photon source through pump-degenerate spontaneous four-wave mixing (SFWM), exhibiting a spectral purity of $P=0.67\pm0.05$ and a heralded anti-bunching of $g^{(2)}_h(0)=0.0042\pm0.0015$. Together, these results demonstrate both photon-generation schemes on a single integrated $\mathrm{Si_3N_4}$ platform, highlighting its potential for scalable, tailored quantum light generation.

A silicon source of frequency-bin entangled photons

Federico Andrea Sabattoli, Linda Gianini, Angelica Simbula +6 more

We demonstrate an integrated source of frequency-entangled photon pairs on a silicon photonics chip. The emitter has a coincidence-to-accidental ratio exceeding 103. We prove entanglement by showing two-photon frequency interference with a visibility of 94.6% ± 1.1%. This result opens the possibility of on-chip integration of frequency-bin sources with modulators and the other active and passive devices available in the silicon photonics platform.
