Fiber-coupled plug-and-play heralded single photon source based on Ti : LiNbO3 and polymer technology — •Christian Kießler1, Hauke Conradi2, Moritz Kleinert2, Viktor Quiring1, Harald Herrmann1, and Christine Silberhorn1 — 1Paderborn University, Integrated Quantum Optics, Institute of Photonic Quantum Systems (PhoQS), Warburger Str. 100, 33098 Paderborn — 2Fraunhofer HHI Berlin, Einsteinufer 37, 10587 Berlin
A reliable, but cost-effective generation of single-photon states is key for practical quantum communication systems. Requirements like affordability, stability, miniaturized design and fiber compatibility are essential for these sources.
Here, we present the first chip-size fully integrated fiber-coupled Heralded Single Photon Source (HSPS) module based on a hybrid integration of Lithium-Niobate into a polymer board. A spontaneous parametric down conversion (SPDC) process with a pump wavelength of 532 nm leads to signal and idler of 810 nm and 1550 nm. The module has a size of (2 × 1) cm2 and is fully fibercoupled with one pump input fiber and two output fibers for separated signal and idler. We measure a heralded second-order correlation function of gh(2)=0.05 with a heralding efficiency of ηh=4.5 % at low pump powers.
