Telecom‐Band Spontaneous Parametric Down‐Conversion in AlGaAs‐on‐Insulator Waveguides
Abstract: Widespread commercial adoption of telecom‐band quantum key distribution (QKD) will require fully integrated, room‐temperature transmitters. Implementing highly efficient spontaneous parametric down‐conversion (SPDC) on a platform that offers co‐integration of the pump laser has been an outstanding challenge. Here, using such a platform based on AlGaAs‐on‐insulator waveguides, telecom‐band SPDC (and SHG, second harmonic generation) is reported with exceedingly large efficiencies of 26 GHz generated pairs per mW over a 7 THz bandwidth, which would saturate the usable photon‐flux for a 70‐channel wavelength‐multiplexed QKD system at merely 1.7 mW of pump laser power.
