Directional emission of down-converted photons from a dielectric nanoresonator

چکیده
Creation of correlated photon pairs is one the key topics in contemporary quantum optics. Here, we theoretically describe generation process spontaneous parametric down-conversion a resonant spherical nanoparticle made dielectric material with bulk $\chi^{(2)}$ nonlinearity. We pick size that satisfies condition eigenmodes described by Mie theory. reveal highly directional photon-pair can be observed utilising nonlinear Kerker-type effect, and this regime provides useful polarisation correlations.

Theory of two-photon interactions with broadband down-converted light and entangled photons
When two-photon interactions are induced by down-converted light with a bandwidth that exceeds the pump bandwidth, they can obtain a behavior that is pulselike temporally, yet spectrally narrow. At low photon fluxes this behavior reflects the time and energy entanglement between the down-converted photons. However, two-photon interactions such as two-photon absorption TPA and sum-frequency gene...
متن کاملQuantum state-controlled directional spontaneous emission of photons into a nanophotonic waveguide
The spin of light in subwavelength-diameter waveguides can be orthogonal to the propagation direction of the photons because of the strong transverse confinement. This transverse spin changes sign when the direction of propagation is reversed. Using this effect, we demonstrate the directional spontaneous emission of photons by laser-trapped caesium atoms into an optical nanofibre and control th...
متن کاملStrongly Directional Scattering from Dielectric Nanowires
It has been experimentally demonstrated only recently that a simultaneous excitation of interfering electric and magnetic resonances can lead to unidirectional scattering of visible light in zero-dimensional dielectric nanoparticles. We show both theoretically and experimentally, that strongly anisotropic scattering also occurs in individual dielectric nanowires. The effect occurs even under ei...
متن کاملFrequency splitter based on the directional emission from surface modes in dielectric photonic crystal structures.
We demonstrate the numerical design and the experimental validation of frequency dependent directional emission from a dielectric photonic crystal structure. The wave propagates through a photonic crystal line-defect waveguide, while a surface layer at the termination of the photonic crystal enables the excitation of surface modes and a subsequent grating layer transforms the surface energy int...
متن کاملQuantum non-Gaussianity of frequency up-converted single photons.
Nonclassical states of light are an important resource in today's quantum communication and metrology protocols. Quantum up-conversion of nonclassical states is a promising approach to overcome frequency differences between disparate subsystems within a quantum information network. Here, we present the generation of heralded narrowband single photons at 1550 nm via cavity enhanced spontaneous p...
