Fibre-based pressure-controlled sources for quantum optics

Abstract

We present progress towards the generation of photon triplet states and realisation of a tunable source of entangled photons. In both cases, control of the phase-matching is achieved through gas-pressure tuning.

Gas-Pressure-Tunable Photon-Pair Generation in Sub-Micron Suspended-Core Fibres

Nicolas Y. Joly, Jonas Hammer, Daniel R Häupl +3 more

Four-wave mixing in Ar-filled sub-micron suspended-core fibres is used to generate spectrally tunable entangled photon pairs. A continuous shift of 0.30 THz/bar is measured for the generated sidebands with a coincidence-to-accidental ratio over 104.

Gas-pressure tunable photon-pair generation in a suspended core fiber

Jonas Hammer, Maria V. Chekhova, Philip St.J. Russell +1 more

Four-wave-mixing in a suspended core fiber is spectrally tuned by filling the fiber with argon. This allows the generation of photon pairs to be tuned over at least 40 nm, extendible using even higher pressures.

Fibre-optic quantum entanglement sources

Fibre optics is a mature technology that revolutionized telecommunication. Quantum photonics is an emerging technology still under development. The fusion of the two can bring technologically-robust solutions for quantum applications. Here we give one concrete example of a fiber-optic entangled photon source. Free of alignment, fiber coupling or any birefringence compensating schemes, it is arguably world’s simplest polarization-entangled photon source, and perfectly compatible with the vast fibre-optic network infrastructure. Furthermore, using it to form a fibre-based nonlinear interferometer results in the coupling of the spectral domain with the polarization domain, and tunability in both domains. By manipulating the dispersion and birefringence properties of the linear medium in the interferometer, we experimentally demonstrate altering the biphoton spectrum through biphoton interference, as well as tuning the degree of polarization entanglement. Due to the low-birefringence nature of both the nonlinear and linear media in the interferometer, we can preserve the high-quality polarization entanglement while shaping the biphoton spectrum. Additionally, the coupling of the polarization degree of freedom with the spectral degree of freedom, allowing us to tune the degree of entanglement by simply tuning wavelength. Our fibre-based quantum entanglement sources demonstrate a great deal of flexibility in entanglement engineering for future fibre-optic quantum networks.
