Mode expansion and Bragg filtering for a high-fidelity fiber-based photon-pair Source

Alexander Ling, Jun Chen, Jingyun Fan +1 more

We report the development of a fiber-based single spatial-mode source of photon-pairs where the efficiency of extracting photon-pairs is increased through the use of fiber-end expansion and Bragg filters. This improvement in efficiency enabled a spectrally bright and pure photon-pair source having a small second-order correlation function (0.03) and a raw spectral brightness of 44,700 pairs s(-1)nm(-1)mW(-1). The source can be configured to generate entangled photon-pairs, characterized via optimal and minimal quantum state tomography, to have a fidelity of 97% and tangle of 92%, without subtracting any background.

Higher fidelity source of entangled photon-pairs from a photonic crystal fiber via mode expansion and Bragg filtering

Alexander Ling, Jun Chen, Jingyun Fan +1 more

We report the development of a fiber-based single-spatial-mode source of photon-pairs where the efficiency of extracting photon pairs is 14× higher than a previous implementation [16]. This critical improvement in efficiency enabled a spectrally bright and pure photon-pair source having a small second-order correlation function (0.03) and a raw spectral brightness of 44,700 pairs/(s nm mW). The source can be configured to generate entangled photon-pairs, characterized via optimal and minimal quantum state tomography, to have a fidelity of 97% and tangle of 92%, without correcting for accidentals.

FBGs in PCF for Four-Wave Mixing Sources for Quantum Optics

Alex I. Flint, Will A. M. Smith, Alex O. C. Davis +6 more

Photonic crystal fibers (PCFs) offer a high degree of design flexibility, particularly in terms of dispersion control, making them ideal for nonlinear optical processes. These fibers have found applications in various photonic fields, including fiber lasers [1] and single-photon generation [2]. Dispersion control allows for efficient four-wave mixing at desired wavelengths, which can be used in quantum optical sources. These processes require or are enhanced by the use of fiber Bragg gratings (FBGs) in the fiber. For example, in PCF-based FWM heralded single photon sources, FBGs can be used to filter out unwanted noise contributions, such as Raman noise. However, current filtering methods are lossy [3], making it desirable to integrate filters into the fibers themselves. Additionally, specially designed PCFs with FBGs can be used for in-fiber OPOs to generate squeezed light.
