Deterministic tuning of slow-light in photonic-crystal waveguides through the C and L bands by atomic layer deposition

Charlton J. Chen, Chad A. Husko, Inanc Meric +5

We demonstrate digital tuning of the slow-light regime in silicon photonic-crystal waveguides by performing atomic layer deposition of hafnium oxide. The high group-index regime wa…

Telecommunications-band heralded single photons from a silicon nanophotonic chip

Marcelo Davanco, Jun Rong Ong, Andrea Bahgat Shehata +7

We demonstrate heralded single photon generation in a CMOS-compatible silicon nanophotonic device. The strong modal confinement and slow group velocity provided by a coupled resona…

Transmission of Slow Light through Photonic Crystal Waveguide Bends

Solomon Assefa, Sharee J. McNab, Yurii A. Vlasov

The spectral dependence of a bending loss of cascaded 60-degree bends in photonic crystal (PhC) waveguides is explored in a slab-type silicon-on-insulator system. Ultra-low bending…

On-Chip Detection of Entangled Photons by Scalable Integration of Single-Photon Detectors

Faraz Najafi, Jacob Mower, Nicholas Harris +8

Photonic integrated circuits (PICs) have emerged as a scalable platform for complex quantum technologies using photonic and atomic systems. A central goal has been to integrate pho…
