Generating quantum correlated photon pairs in a hybrid silicon–BTO platform

Abstract

Here, we show photon pair generation from ring resonator and waveguide structures in a hybrid silicon–BTO on an insulator platform with a pulsed pump. Our analysis of single photon and coincidence generation rates show that spontaneous four-wave mixing is comparable to that expected from SOI devices with similar characteristics and find γeff of (14.7 ± 1.3) and (2.0 ± 0.3) MHz/mW2 for ring resonator and waveguide structures, respectively.
