- Abstract: Photon pair generation in silicon photonic integrated circuits relies on four
wave mixing via the third order nonlinearity. Due to phase matching
requirements and group velocity dispersion, this method has typically required
TE polarized light. Here, we demonstrate TM polarized photon pair production in
linearly uncoupled silicon resonators with more than an order of magnitude more
dispersion than previous work. We achieve measured rates above 2.8 kHz and a
heralded second order correlation of $g^{(2)}(0) = 0.0442 \pm 0.0042$. This
method enables phase matching in dispersive media and paves the way for novel
entanglement generation in silicon photonic devices.
