Abstract summary: We report a source of correlated twin-photon pairs generated by spontaneous parametric down conversion in a silicon nitride (SiN) rib loaded thin film periodically poled lithium niobate (LN) waveguide. The generated photon pairs have a wavelength centred at 1560,nm compatible with present telecom infrastructure, a large bandwidth (21,THz) and a brightness of $sim 2.5times 105$,pairs/s/mW/GHz.

Abstract: Photon-pair sources based on thin film lithium niobate on insulator technology have a great potential for integrated optical quantum information processing. We report on such a source of correlated twin-photon pairs generated by spontaneous parametric down conversion in a silicon nitride (SiN) rib loaded thin film periodically poled lithium niobate (LN) waveguide. The generated photon pairs have a wavelength centred at 1560\,nm compatible with present telecom infrastructure, a large bandwidth (21\,THz) and a brightness of $\sim 2.5\times 10^5$\,pairs/s/mW/GHz. The photons are correlated and exhibit a cross correlation $g^{(2)}(0)$ of about 8000. Using the Hanbury Brown and Twiss effect, we have also shown heralded single photon emission, achieving an autocorrelation $g^{(2)}_H(0) \simeq 0.04$.

Time-correlated photon pairs are generated by triply-resonant Four-Wave-Mixing in a In$_0.5$Ga$_0.5$P Photonic Crystal cavitiy. The generation rate reaches 5 MHz in cavities with Q-factor $approx 4times 104$, more than one order of magnitude larger than what is measured using ring resonators with similar Q factors fabricated on the same chip.

Understanding photoluminescence in semiconductor Bragg-reflection waveguides: Towards an integrated, GHz-rate telecom photon pair source [47.399953444625154]
semiconductor integrated sources of photon pairs may operate at pump wavelengths much closer to the bandgap of the materials. We show that devices operating near the long wavelength end of the S-band or the short C-band require temporal filtering shorter than 1 ns. We predict that shifting the operating wavelengths to the L-band and making small adjustments in the material composition will reduce the amount of photoluminescence to negligible values.
