• Authors: Xin-Yi Pan, Christian Kurtsiefer, Alexander Ling, James A. Grieve
• Abstract summary: The temperature dependence of the refractive indices of potassium titanyl phosphate (KTP) are shown to enable quasi-phasematched type II spontaneous parametric downconversion. We demonstrate the effect experimentally, observing temperature-insensitive degenerate emission at 1326nm, within the telecommunications O band. This result has practical applications in the development of entangled photon sources for resource-constrained environments.

• Abstract: The temperature dependence of the refractive indices of potassium titanyl phosphate (KTP) are shown to enable quasi-phasematched type II spontaneous parametric downconversion (SPDC) with low temperature sensitivity. Calculations show the effect to be maximised for emission of photons at around 1165nm, as well as producing potentially useful regions for wavelengths throughout the telecommunications bands. We demonstrate the effect experimentally, observing temperature-insensitive degenerate emission at 1326nm, within the telecommunications O band. This result has practical applications in the development of entangled photon sources for resource-constrained environments, and we demonstrate a simple polarization entangled source as a proof of concept.

  This study investigates aluminum nitride (AlN) as a material with properties highly suitable for integrated on-chip photonics. We conduct a comprehensive study of the creation and photophysical properties of single-photon emitters in AlN utilizing Zirconium (Zr) and Krypton (Kr) heavy ion implantation. With the 532 nm excitation wavelength, we found that single-photon emitters induced by ion implantation are primarily associated with vacancy-type defects in the AlN lattice for both Zr and Kr ions.

  Lines of unknown origin are observed in a wide spectroscopic range from 500 to 800 nm. We propose and experimentally substantiate the hypothesis that these mysterious lines arise from radiative recombination of donor-acceptor pairs (DAPs) DAPs are formed through the interaction of donor-like substitutional nitrogen present in the diamond lattice, and a 2D layer of acceptors resulting from the transfer doping effect on the surface of hydrogen-terminated NDs.

  We utilize local helium ion irradiation to tune single-photon detection efficiency, switching current, and critical temperature of individual devices on the same chip. For 12nm thick highly absorptive SNSPDs, we observe an increase of the system detection efficiency from $ 0.05,%$ to $(55.3 pm 1.1),%$ following irradiation. Investigations of the scaling of superconducting thin film properties with irradiation up to a fluence of $2600 revealed an increase of sheet resistance and a decrease of critical temperature towards high fluences.
