The effect of self- and cross-phase modulation on photon-pairs generated by spontaneous four-wave mixing in integrated optical waveguides

Abstract
A novel time-domain approach using the momentum operator is used to model spontaneous four-wave mixing in a lossless nonlinear waveguide. The effects of self- and cross-phase modulation on the photon-pair production rate and heralded photon purity are investigated. We show that in the special case where only one half of the photon-pair state is filtered that the generation rate and purity of the heralded photons are unmodified by the presence of self- and cross-phase modulation. The significance of this special case arises when we consider heralded single-photon sources, where future schemes are likely to only filter the herald photon to ensure a high heralding efficiency is maintained.
