Slow-light-enhanced correlated photon pair generation in a silicon photonic crystal coupled-resonator optical waveguide

Nobuyuki Matsuda, Hiroki Takesue, Kaoru Shimizu +3 more

For large-scale, multi-partite photonic quantum information system, stable on-demand single photon sources are particularly important building blocks. A scheme to implement the source is to multiplex many heralded single photon sources of identical photon pair generators. To achieve this, we must increase the integration density of the photon pair generators. Slow light enhanced nonlinearity in Si photonic waveguides has proven useful for reducing the device size. So far, we demonstrated that coupled-resonator optical waveguides (CROWs) based on photonic crystal (PhC) nanocavities exhibited the largest nonlinear constant γ (/W/m) in Si-core waveguides thanks to the slow light enhancement and a strong spatial field confinement achieved by PhC nanocavities. Using the PhC-cavity-based CROW, we demonstrate efficient correlated photon pair generation.

Dispersion-controlled slow light in photonic crystal waveguides

Toshihiko Baba, Jun ADACHI, Norihiro Ishikura +4 more

Slow light with a markedly low group velocity is a promising solution for optical buffering and advanced time-domain optical signal processing. It is also anticipated to enhance linear and nonlinear effects and so miniaturize functional photonic devices because slow light compresses optical energy in space. Photonic crystal waveguide devices generate on-chip slow light at room temperature with a wide bandwidth and low dispersion suitable for short pulse transmission. This paper first explains the delay-bandwidth product, fractional delay, and tunability as crucial criteria for buffering capacity of slow light devices. Then the paper describes experimental observations of slow light pulse, exhibiting their record high values. It also demonstrates the nonlinear enhancement based on slow light pulse transmission.
