Plasmon-enhanced polarized single photon source directly coupled to an optical fiber
Masakazu Sugawara, Yining Xuan, Yasuyoshi Mitsumori +2
A bright source of fiber-coupled, polarized single photons is an essential component of any realistic quantum network based on today's existing fiber infrastructure. Here, we devel…
Generation of spectrally factorable photon pairs via multi-order quasi-phase-matched spontaneous parametric downconversion
Fumihiro Kaneda, Jo Oikawa, Masahiro Yabuno +5
For advanced quantum information technology, sources of photon pairs in quantum mechanically factorable states are of great importance for realizing high-fidelity photon-photon qua…
Optically induced sieve effect for nanoparticles near a nanofiber taper
Mark Sadgrove, Takaaki Yoshino, Masakazu Sugawara +2
We demonstrate size selective optical trapping and transport for nanoparticles near an optical nanofiber taper. Using a two-wavelength, counter-propagating mode configuration, we s…
Spectral characterization of photon-pair sources via classical sum-frequency generation
Fumihiro Kaneda, Jo Oikawa, Masahiro Yabuno +5
Tailoring spectral properties of photon pairs is of great importance for optical quantum information and measurement applications. High-resolution spectral measurement is a key tec…
Optical detection of nano-particle characteristics using coupling to a nano-waveguide
