Abstract

We demonstrate on-chip quanhrm-correlated photons and rejection of pump photons by ~112 dB using filters on two silicon-on-insulator photonic integrated circuits. The photon pairs had coincidence-to-accidental ratio (CAR) of 155 at 0.2 mW pump power.

High-extinction ratio integrated photonic filters for silicon quantum photonics

We present the generation of quantum-correlated photon pairs and subsequent pump rejection across two silicon-on-insulator photonic integrated circuits. Incoherently cascaded lattice filters are used to provide over 100 dB pass-band to stop-band contrast with no additional external filtering. Photon pairs generated in a microring resonator are successfully separated from the input pump, confirmed by temporal correlations measurements.

Integrated Source of Spectrally Filtered Correlated Photons for Large-Scale Quantum Photonic Systems

Davide Grassani, Angelica Simbula, Mihir Pant +7 more

We demonstrate the generation of quantum-correlated photon pairs combined with the spectral filtering of the pump field by more than 95 dB on a single silicon chip using electrically tunable ring resonators and passive Bragg reflectors. Moreover, we perform the demultiplexing and routing of signal and idler photons after transferring them via an optical fiber to a second identical chip. Nonclassical two-photon temporal correlations with a coincidence-to-accidental ratio of 50 are measured without further off-chip filtering. Our system, fabricated with high yield and reproducibility in a CMOS-compatible process, paves the way toward large-scale quantum photonic circuits by allowing sources and detectors of single photons to be integrated on the same chip.

Highly Correlated Photon-Pair Generation from a Silicon Waveguide Integrated with on-Chip Pump-Rejection Filters

Jong-Moo Lee, Wook‐Jae Lee, Minsu Kim +1 more

Silicon photonics is an attractive technology toward an integrated quantum optical platform including quantum-correlated photon-pair sources and interference circuits [1-3]. Photon pairs can be generated based on spontaneous four-wave mixing (SFWM) with a strong pump field, but the co-propagating pump field should be separated by high-extinction pump-rejection filters (PRFs) [2, 3].
