High efficiency coupling components for SiN quantum photonic chips
FY 2021-22 · 2022-03-01
Summary
The Small Teams project Quantum Photonic Integrated Circuits for Quantum Interconnects as a whole aims to develop a chip-based platform by which entangled photons can be generated and distributed between nodes in a quantum network. The emphasis of this particular collaboration, a sub-project of the Small Teams project will be on the development of technology that can deliver photons to external optical networks efficiently and at high rates in a robust package as required for practical implementation. Using nanowire quantum dot sources grown with a scalable site-controlled nucleation process and a transfer technique that allows for the incorporation of an arbitrary number of single emitters on-chip, the project team will develop a fully integrated on-chip platform for the production, manipulation and detection of quantum states of light. This collaborative project between Carleton and NRC will focus on, a fiber-tochip coupling device with primary design targets of high-efficiency, polarizationinsensitive and bandwidth-enhanced operation, as well as a reliable operation at 950 nm and 1550 nm.

Description (French)
Le projet sur les circuits intégrés photoniques quantiques pour les interconnexions quantiques de l’Initiative « Petites Équipes » vise dans son ensemble à développer une plateforme sur puce pour générer et distribuer des photons intriqués entre les nœuds d’un réseau quantique. L’accent de cette collaboration particulière, un sous-projet de l’Initiative « Petites équipes », sera mis sur le développement d’une technologie capable de délivrer des photons à des réseaux optiques externes de manière efficace et à des taux élevés dans un boîtier robuste, comme l’exige la mise en œuvre pratique.
Expected Results
In the short term, anticipated outcomes will be strengthened collaborations across industry, academia, and government to support research excellence. In the medium term, anticipated outcomes will be the development of new and potentially disruptive technologies with collaborators. In the long term, find collaborative solutions to public policy challenges and create stronger innovation systems.
Expected Results (French)
À court terme, les résultats prévus seront des collaborations renforcées entre l'industrie, le milieu universitaire et le gouvernement pour soutenir l'excellence en recherche. À moyen terme, les résultats attendus seront le développement de nouvelles technologies potentiellement perturbatrices avec des collaborateurs. À long terme, trouver des solutions collaboratives aux défis des politiques publiques et créer des systèmes d'innovation plus solides.

Program Name
Collaborative Science, Technology and Innovation Program – Ideation Fund
Program Name (French)
Programme de collaboration en science, en technologie et en innovation – Fonds d’idéation
Program Purpose
The Ideation Fund is intended to encourage, test and validate transformative research ideas generated by teams of NRC scientific personnel and external collaborators with complementary capabilities, acting as a demonstration phase for a continually-evolving suite of research and development (R&D) deliverables at the NRC. The fund supports exploratory research through two mechanisms: the New Beginnings Initiative and the Small Teams Initiative.
Program Purpose (French)
Collaborer à des programmes multipartites de recherche-développement dans le but de profiter de la synergie entre la recherche transformatrice à haut risque et à haut rendement et le potentiel de découvertes scientifiques et de percées technologiques révolutionnaires dans des secteurs d’intervention prioritaires.
