Semiconductor waveguide source of counterpropagating twin photons.
We experimentally demonstrate an integrated semiconductor source of counterpropagating twin photons in the telecom range. A pump beam impinging on top of an AlGaAs waveguide generates parametrically two counterpropagating, orthogonally polarized signal/idler guided modes. A 2 mm long waveguide emits at room temperature one average photon pair per pump pulse, with a spectral linewidth of 0.15 nm...
متن کاملUltrafast sources of entangled photons for quantum information processing
Recent advances in quantum information processing (QIP) have enabled practical applications of quantum mechanics in various fields such as cryptography, computation, and metrology. Most of these applications use photons as carriers of quantum information. Therefore, engineering the quantum state of photons is essential for the realization of novel QIP schemes. A practical and flexible technique...
متن کاملSemiconductor quantum light sources
Applying quantum light states to photonic applications allows functionalities that are not possible using ‘ordinary’ classical light. For example, carrying information with single photons provides a means to test the secrecy of optical communications, which could soon be applied to the problem of sharing digital cryptographic keys1,2. Although secure quantum-key-distribution systems based on we...
متن کاملQuantum-correlated twin photons from microstructure fiber.
We present a source of correlated photon pairs that relies on spontaneous parametric scattering in microstructure fiber. Quantum correlations are shown between photon pairs that are generated through four-photon scattering where the pump photons are degenerate at a wavelength of 749 nm and the signal and idler photons are nondegenerate at wavelengths of 761 nm and 737 nm, respectively. Careful ...
