摘要
The well-established silicon-on-insulator platform is very promising for large-scale integrated photonic and quantum photonic technologies due to the mature manufacturing technology and integration density. Here, we present an efficient and stable fiber-to-chip coupling, which enables the injection of single photons from telecom quantum dots into a silicon-on-insulator photonic chip. Two additional fibers further couple the chip to single-photon detectors. The approach chosen to achieve steady fiber-chip coupling is based on the use of grating couplers steadily packaged with angled single-mode fibers. Using this technique, coupling efficiencies between the fiber and the SOI chip as high as 69.1% per grating coupler (including the taper losses) are reached. The effective interface between the quantum light generated by quantum dots and the silicon components is verified via the measurement of the second-order correlation function using a Hanbury–Brown and Twiss setup. With g(2)(0)=0.051±0.001, it clearly proves the single-photon nature of the injected QD photons. This demonstrates the reliability of the interfacing method and opens the route to employ telecom quantum dots as non-classical light sources with high complexity silicon photonic functionalities.
