Entanglement generation using silicon wire waveguide
arXiv:0711.2328 · doi:10.1063/1.2814040
Abstract
We report the first entanglement generation experiment that utilizes a silicon waveguide. Using spontaneous four-wave mixing in a 1.09-cm-long silicon wire waveguide, we generated 1.5-um, high-purity time-bin entangled photons without temperature control, and observed a two-photon interference fringe with >73% visibility.
