Abstract

We fully integrate a dual-pulse-controlled single-photon source on a chip, achieving >98% spectral purity. Additionally, we show both purity and brightness can reach an optimal condition by adjusting relatively delay at a splitting ratio >50%.

Chip-scale high spectral purity micro-ring photon-pair source based on dual-pulse control

Baojie Hou, Donghui Chen, Haoran Ma +10 more

Fully integrated high spectral purity photon-pair sources represent critical core components for scalable photonic quantum information processing systems. While micro-ring resonator based single-photon sources demonstrate superior integration capabilities, their spectral purity typically suffers from a theoretical upper bound below 92% in the absence of narrow-band spectral filtering, rendering it inadequate for advanced quantum applications. This work successfully implements an on-chip dual-pulse controlled photon pair generation architecture on a complementary metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS) compatible silicon photonic platform, achieving high spectral purity exceeding 98% by optimizing the beam splitting ratio and adjusting the relative time delay between the two pulses. Furthermore, to mitigate operating point drift in the micro-ring photon-pair generator induced by micro-heater current variations during testing, we developed a power control algorithm that locks the micro-ring resonance to the corresponding frequency of the shaped optical pulse, significantly improving long-term system stability.
