Abstract

We report on the first-time generation of biphotons via spontaneous parametric down-conversion driven by Mie-type resonances in subwavelength metasurfaces. The measured biphoton spectrum reveals that emission predominantly occurs at the resonant wavelength of the metasurface.

We experimentally demonstrate biphoton generation by spontaneous paramet-ric down-conversion in resonant metasurfaces. In our metasurfaces, Mie-type resonances enable over 7 times more efficient biphoton generation compared to an unstructured thin film.

Spontaneous Parametric Down-Conversion from Resonant Metasurfaces

Tomás Santiago‐Cruz, Anna N. Fedotova, Vitaliy Sultanov +7 more

All-dielectric optical metasurfaces are a workhorse in nano-optics due to both their ability to manipulate light in different degrees of freedom and their excellent performance at light frequency conversion. Here, we demonstrate first-time generation of photon pairs via spontaneous parametric-down conversion in lithium niobate quantum optical metasurfaces with electric and magnetic Mie-like resonances at various wavelengths. By engineering the quantum optical metasurface, we tailor the photon-pair spectrum in a controlled way. Within a narrow bandwidth around the resonance, the rate of pair production is enhanced up to two orders of magnitude compared to an unpatterned film of the same thickness and material. These results enable flat-optics sources of entangled photons -- a new promising platform for quantum optics experiments.

Nanoscale Spontaneous Parametric Down-Conversion

We generate entangled photons via spontaneous parametric down-conversion (SPDC) in subwavelength films of nonlinear materials and all-dielectric nonlinear metasurfaces. The SPDC spectra reveal resonances: Fabry-Perot in the first case and Mie in the second case.
