Photo-Thermally Tunable Photon-Pair Generation in Dielectric Metasurfaces

Omer Can Karaman, Hua Li, Elif Nur Dayi +2

Photon-pair sources based on spontaneous four-wave mixing (SFWM) in integrated photonics are often spectrally static. We demonstrate and model a fundamental thermo-optical mechanis…
