Important information

Thank you for your interest in the work of the Quantum Communications Hub (2014-2024). The project is now complete but you can still explore all our resources on this website. You can also download our legacy report through this link

Information on the Hub’s SPOQC quantum cubesat mission, scheduled to launch in 2025, can be accessed in this section, but please note that this website will no longer be updated with new content. Information around the launch of the mission will be publicised through press releases.

High Spectro-temporal Purity Single-photons Using Pump Pulse Engineering in Silicon Micro-racetrack Resonators

B. M. Burridge, I. I. Faruque, J. G. Rarity, and J. Barreto, “High Spectro-temporal Purity Single-photons Using Pump Pulse Engineering in Silicon Micro-racetrack Resonators,” in Frontiers in Optics / Laser Science, B. Lee, C. Mazzali, K. Corwin, and R. Jason Jones, eds., OSA Technical Digest (Optical Society of America, 2020), paper JTu7B.2.

Single photons with high spectro-temporal purity are critical for photonic quantum information processing. We engineer laser pulses driving a micro-racetrack resonator to obtain SFWM photons with 98.0±0.3% purity, surpassing traditional 92% purities.
