| Popis: | The generation of single photons serves as the backbone for tasks in quantum information processing. Generating quantum electromagnetic fields on highly dispersive platforms is technically challenging, though, due to phase-matching constraints. The authors consider the silicon photonic platform, due to its potential scalability, and demonstrate that phase matching is possible with highly dispersive transverse-magnetic polarized light, via nonlinear coupling of two racetrack-style microresonators. With its brightness and tunability, this source may have a significant impact on creation of entangled photons in photonic integrated circuits, for use in quantum information and communication. |
