Abstract

Parametric sources in quantum optics usually require some form of spectro-temporal control for conditional generation of high-purity single-photon states, but their properties have not yet been optimized using integrated microchips. Using external short-pulse lasers and separate devices for pump preparation and for photon generation, as is traditional, incurs many impediments such as reduced performance, increased loss, high cost, and limited scalability. To overcome these limitations, here we demonstrate a circuit including high-bandwidth, high-extinction ratio electro-optic modulators for pump-pulse preparation fully integrated with high-quality factor (Q) microresonators for efficient parametric nonlinearity, together with seamlessly interconnecting waveguides. The microchip uses different optical materials on a common platform and a multi-layer integrated photonic architecture. Using this, we control the joint spectrum of room-temperature biphoton generation for the first time on a single integrated microchip, and demonstrate that the theoretical purity bound can be achieved.
