Generating entangled photons via enhanced spontaneous parametric downconversion in AlGaAs microring resonators.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Spontaneous parametric downconversion (SPDC) can be enhanced in double-channel side-coupled microring resonator structures, generating entangled photons spatially separated in different channels. The enhancement is even more drastic in single-channel side-coupled microring resonator structures, although the generated entangled photons are not spatially separated, and it might be most interesting to use a ring tuned for nondegenerate SPDC.

Bragg-grating-enhanced narrowband spontaneous parametric downconversion.
We propose a new method to narrow the line width of entangled photons generated from spontaneous parametric downconversion (SPDC). The single structure device incorporates an internal Bragg grating onto a nonlinear optical waveguide. We study theoretically the spectral characteristics of SPDC under two Bragg grating structures. We show that using the Bragg grating with a midway pi-phase shifter...
متن کاملOrbital angular momentum of entangled counterpropagating photons.
We elucidate the paraxial orbital angular momentum of entangled photon pairs generated by spontaneous parametric downconversion in different noncollinear geometries in which the entangled photons counterpropagate. We find, in particular, the orbital angular momentum of entangled pairs generated in transverse-emitting configurations, in which none of the known rules for selecting orbital angular...
متن کاملEllipsometric measurements by use of photon pairs generated by spontaneous parametric downconversion.
We present a novel interferometric technique for performing ellipsometric measurements. This technique relies on the use of a nonclassical optical source, namely, polarization-entangled twin photons generated by spontaneous parametric downconversion from a nonlinear crystal, in conjunction with a coincidence-detection scheme. Ellipsometric measurements acquired with this scheme are absolute; i....
متن کاملExperimental proposal for the generation of entangled photon triplets by third-order spontaneous parametric downconversion in optical fibers.
We present an experimental proposal for the generation of photon triplets based on third-order spontaneous parametric downconversion in thin optical fibers. Our analysis includes expressions for the quantum state, which describes the photon triplets and for the generation rate in terms of all experimental parameters. We also present, for a specific source design, numerically calculated generati...
متن کاملEntangled photon apparatus for the undergraduate laboratory
We present detailed instructions for constructing and operating an apparatus to produce and detect polarization-entangled photons. The source operates by type I spontaneous parametric downconversion in a two-crystal geometry. Photons are detected in coincidence by single-photon counting modules and show strong angular and polarization correlations. We observe more than 100 entangled photon pair...
