Abstract

Direct observation of third-order spontaneous down conversion, where three low energy photons are generated from a single one, remains a challenging task. We report here on different strategies based on engineered optical fibers. These include gas-filled hollow-core photonic crystal fibers, hybrid- and tapered fibers.

Sub-micron tapered fibers have been proposed to be a suitable platform for the implementation of third-order spontaneous parametric down conversion (TOSPDC). Starting with the derivation of expressions for quantized fields in optical fibers, we devise an exact theoretical treatment of the expected triplet generation rate.

Microstructured optical fibers for quantum applications: Perspective

Cameron McGarry, Kerrianne Harrington, Alex O. C. Davis +2 more

Recent progress in the development and applications of microstructured optical fibers for quantum technologies is summarized. The optical nonlinearity of solid-core and gas-filled hollow-core fibers provides a valuable medium for the generation of quantum resource states as well as for quantum frequency conversion between the operating wavelengths of existing quantum photonic material architectures. The low loss, low latency, and low dispersion of hollow-core fibers make these fibers particularly attractive for both short- and long-distance links in quantum networks. Hollow-core fibers also promise to replace free-space optical components in a wide range of atomic experiments.
