Abstract

We discuss the use of fibre Bragg grating filters to eliminate the noise associated with a pump signal in single photon experiments. We demonstrate devices with over (127.6±0.3) dB of attenuation and minimal insertion loss.

Compact stable fibre-based optical frequency filter

Jonathan P. Hedger, Andre Nicholas Luiten, Ben M. Sparkes

We demonstrate a robust, stable and compact spectral filter for use in quantum optics experiments by implementing Fabry-Pérot resonators within optical fibre using pairs of fibre Bragg gratings. With only temperature stabilisation, these devices show less than 20 MHz frequency drift over 12 hours with a maximum suppression of roughly 35 dB and overall transmission of 75%. These characteristics make fibre Bragg grating Fabry-Pérot resonators ideal for quantum optics experiments where single photon-level signals must be efficiently filtered from large optical fields.

Bragg gratings will improve signal-to-noise in χ(3) degenerate photon-pair generation

Dual-pump photon-pair sources typically suffer from parasitic pair production. To circumvent this, we propose and design a source in which parasitic pairs are suppressed by proper engineering of photonic band gaps in a Bragg grating.

Optical Stabilizer Based on Optical Bistable Devices with All-Fibre Construction

Cheng Li, Hongan Ye, Xuezeng Zhao +3 more

We propose a fibre optical stabilizer constituted by a photoelectric-hybrid optical bistable device in which fibre Bragg grating is used as a light intensity modulator. The intensity noise-reducing ability is well improved through the method by employing two feed signals. As a result, the light intensity variation can be reduced to ~1/64.

On-Chip Photon Pair Source with Pump Rejection Filter

Dorian Oser, Florent Mazeas, Carlos Alonso‐Ramos +5 more

Integrated photon-pair sources are fundamental building blocks of any quantum circuit. Spontaneous four-wave mixing in Si micro-resonators has already shown efficient on-chip generation of entangled photon pairs. However, owing to the substantially higher pump intensity, compared to that of the photon-pair signal, suppression of the pump requires rejection levels exceeding 100 dB. Besides strong pump suppression, narrow rejection bandwidth (<; 10 nm) is particularly important to allow short wavelength separation of the paired photons, thereby minimizing dispersion effects in the micro-ring that may reduce the efficiency of the nonlinear process. Implementing such pump-rejection filter on chip remains a challenge. Indeed, the only demonstration of photon-pair generation with on-chip pump rejection required cascading two identical chips, compromising the feasibility of the solution. The main reason for this is the limited rejection achieved by state-of-the-art on-chip Bragg filters. Ultra-high rejection has been demonstrated in actively controlled filters at the expense of increased insertion loss and a high complexity, due to the control of all the filters. Nevertheless, photon-pair generation with effective pump rejection in a single chip has not been demonstrated yet.
