Quantum Optics in Synthetic Dimensions of a Single Waveguide

Abstract

We exploit intricate mode structure and intermodal interactions to generate advanced quantum circuits within a single waveguide. Changing only its lateral dimensions, we generate photonic states (e.g. NOON), implement interferometers and quantum topological elements. .

We generate entangled states of light in a single SiN waveguide (WG) by using its modal degree of freedom as a synthetic dimension [1] and exploiting intricate intermodal interactions. Our novel concept enables realization of entire photonic integrated quantum circuits [2] in small-footprint and readily fabricable single WG structures.

Avoiding lateral mode leakage in thin film lithium niobate waveguides for the generation of spectrally pure photons at telecom wavelengths

Muskan Arora, Pranav Chokkara, Jasleen Lugani

Photonic integrated optical components, notably straight waveguides, serve as pivotal elements for on-chip generation and manipulation of quantum states of light. In this work, we focus on optimizing waveguides based on lithium niobate on insulator (LNOI) to generate photon pairs at telecom wavelength using spontaneous parametric down-conversion (SPDC). Specifically, we investigate lateral leakage for all possible SPDC processes involving type 0, type I and type II phase matching conditions in an X-cut lithium niobate waveguide and provide a recipe to avoid leakage loss for the interacting photons. Furthermore, focusing on type II phase matching, we engineer the waveguide in the single mode regime such that it also satisfies group index matching for generating spectrally pure single photons with high purity (99.33%). We also address fabrication imperfections of the optimized design and found that the spectral purity of the generated photons is robust to fabrication errors. This work serves as a tutorial for the appropriate selection of morphological parameters to obtain lossless, single mode LNOI waveguides for building linear optical circuits and photon pair generation at telecom wavelengths using desired phase-matching conditions.
