摘要

Abstract

Nonlinear optics plays an important role in many areas of science and technology. The advance of nonlinear optics is empowered by the discovery and utilization of materials with growing optical nonlinearity. Here we demonstrate an indium gallium phosphide (InGaP) integrated photonics platform for broadband

ultra-efficient second-order nonlinear optics. The InGaP nanophotonic waveguide enables second-harmonic generation with a normalized efficiency of 128

000%/W/cm

at 1.55

m pump wavelength

nearly two orders of magnitude higher than the state of the art in the telecommunication C band. Further

we realize an ultra-bright

broadband time-energy entangled photon source with a pair generation rate of 97 GHz/mW and a bandwidth of 115 nm centered at the telecommunication C band. The InGaP entangled photon source shows high coincidence-to-accidental counts ratio CAR

and two-photon interference visibility

98%. The InGaP second-order nonlinear photonics platform will have wide-ranging implications for non-classical light generation

optical signal processing

and quantum networking.
