Measurement of ultrashort bi-photon correlation times with an integrated two-colour broadband SU(1,1)-interferometer

The bi-photon correlation time, a measure for the conditional uncertainty in the temporal arrival of two photons from a photon pair source, is a key performance identifier for many quantum spectroscopy applications, with shorter correlation times typically yielding better performance. Furthermore, it provides fundamental insight into the effects of dispersion on the bi-photon state. Here, we retrieve ultrashort bi-photon correlation times of around $100\,\mathrm{fs}$ by measuring simultaneously spectral and temporal interferograms at the output of an SU(1,1) interferometer based on an integrated broadband parametric down-conversion source in a $\mathrm{Ti:LiNbO}_3$ waveguide

A high-power waveguide resonator second harmonic device with external conversion efficiency up to 75%

We report on a highly efficient waveguide resonator device for the production of 775 nm light using a titanium indiffused LiNbO3waveguide resonator. When scanning the resonance the device produces up to 110 mW of second harmonic power with 140 mW incident on the device - an external conversion efficiency of 75 %. The cavity length is also locked, using a Pound-Drever-Hall type locking scheme, involving feedback to either the cavity temperature or the laser frequency. With laser frequency feedback a stable output power of approximately 28 mW from a 52 mW pump is seen over one hour.

A waveguide cavity resonator source of squeezing

We present the generation of continuous-wave optical squeezing from a titanium-indiffused lithium niobate waveguide resonator. We directly measure 2.9\pm 0.1 dB of single-mode squeezing, which equates to a produced level of 4.9\pm 0.1 dB after accounting for detection losses. This device showcases the current capabilities of this waveguide architecture and precipitates more complicated integrated continuous-wave quantum devices in the continuous-variable regime.
