Single photon adiabatic wavelength conversion
Abstract
Adiabatic wavelength conversion is experimentally demonstrated at a single photon power-level using an integrated silicon ring resonator. This approach allows conversion of a photon to arbitrary wavelengths with no energy or phase matching constraints. The conversion is inherently low-noise and efficient with greater than 10% conversion efficiencies for wavelength changes up to 0.5 nm, more than twenty times the resonators line-width. The observed wavelength change and efficiency agrees well with theory and bright coherent light demonstrations. These results will enable integrated quantum optical wavelength conversion for application ranging from wavelength-multiplexed quantum networks to frequency bin entanglement.
