  • Publication number: 20240134248
    Abstract: A frequency conversion system includes a bus waveguide, a first pump laser coupled to the bus waveguide and characterized by a first frequency, a second pump laser coupled to the bus waveguide and characterized by a second frequency, an input light combining device coupled to the bus waveguide and configured to combine light from the first pump laser and the second pump laser to produce a combined light, and a plurality of optical resonators coupled to the bus waveguide. Each optical resonator of the plurality of optical resonators has a respective resonance line width, wherein for each optical resonators of the plurality the respective resonance line width overlaps with a resonance line width of at least one adjacent optical resonator of the plurality of optical resonators, and wherein each optical resonator of the plurality is configured to generate output light at a converted frequency via frequency mixing.

  • Publication number: 20240027872
    Abstract: Techniques disclosed herein relate to photon sources with high spectral purity and high brightness. In one embodiment, a photon-pair source includes a pump waveguide, a first resonator coupled to the pump waveguide to couple pump photons from the pump waveguide into the first resonator, a second resonator coupled to the first resonator, and an output waveguide coupled to the second resonator. The second resonator is configured to convert the pump photons into photon pairs. The second resonator and the first resonator are configured to cause a coupling-induced resonance splitting in the second resonator or the first resonator. The second resonator and the output waveguide are configured to couple the photon pairs from the second resonator into the output waveguide. In some embodiments, the photo-pair source includes one or more tuners for tuning at least one of the first resonator or the second resonator.

  • Patent number: 11829049
    Abstract: A photon source includes a bus waveguide, a photon source pump laser coupled to the bus waveguide and a plurality of optical resonators coupled to the bus waveguide. Each optical resonator of the plurality of optical resonators has a respective resonance line width and a respective resonance frequency, wherein a bandwidth of the resonant center frequencies of the plurality of optical resonators is greater than a bandwidth of the photon source pump laser. The bus waveguide produces photons in response to receiving laser pulses from the pump laser.
