Telecom-band degenerate-frequency photon pair generation in silicon microring cavities

Not Accessible

Your library or personal account may give you access

Abstract

In this Letter, telecom-band degenerate-frequency photon pairs are generated in a specific mode of a silicon microring cavity by the nondegenerate spontaneous four-wave mixing (SFWM) process, under two continuous-wave pumps at resonance wavelength of two different cavity modes. The ratio of coincidence to accidental coincidence is up to 100 under a time bin width of 5 ns, showing their characteristics of quantum correlation. Their quantum interference in balanced and unbalanced Mach–Zehnder interferometers is investigated theoretically and experimentally, and the results show potential in quantum metrology and quantum information.
