    摘要: Various embodiments of the present invention are directed to compact systems for generating polarization-entangled photons. In one embodiment of the present invention, a non-degenerate, polarization-entangled photon source comprises a half-wave plate that outputs both a first pump beam and a second pump beam, and a first beam displacer that directs the first pump beam into a first transmission channel and the second pump beam into a second transmission channel. A down-conversion device converts the first pump beam into first signal and idler photons and converts the second pump beam into second signal and idler photons. A second beam displacer directs both the first signal and idler photons and the second signal and idler photons into a single transmission channel. A dichroic mirror directs the first and second signal photons to a first fiber optic coupler and the first and second idler photons to a second fiber optic coupler.

    摘要: One example relates to an optical engine comprising a given layer of given material overlaying an optical waveguide of another material. The given layer of given material can comprise an aligning seat to receive an optical transmitter to provide the optical signal. The aligning seat can also align the optical transmitter such that the optical transmitter provides the optical signal in a direction that is substantially non-oblique relative to a longitudinal axis of the optical waveguide. The optical engine can also include an optical signal redirector to tilt the optical signal by a tilt angle. The optical waveguide can comprise a grating coupler to diffract the optical signal provided at the tilt angle into the optical waveguide.

    摘要: A sub-wavelength grating device having controlled phase response includes a grating layer having line widths, line thicknesses, line periods, and line spacings selected to produce a first level of control in phase changes of different portions of a beam of light reflected from the grating layer. The device also includes a substrate affixed to the grating layer that produces a second level of control in phase changes of different portions of a beam of light reflected from the grating layer, the second level of control being accomplished abrupt stepping of the substrate in a horizontal dimension, ramping the substrate in a horizontal dimension, or changing the index of refraction in a horizontal dimension.
