Figures & Tables
Fig. 1. (a) N c versus Q i and Q e . Black solid denotes the optimized Q e for a given Q i that facilitates the highest N c with a unit of Hz. (b) B versus Q i and Q e . Black solid denotes the optimized Q e for a given Q i that facilitates the highest B with an unit of ( s · mW · nm ) − 1 .
Fig. 2. (a) N c versus Q e . (b) B versus Q e , when Q i is 4.76 × 10 4 (black solid), 5.59 × 10 4 (red solid), 7.54 × 10 4 (green solid), and 1.04 × 10 5 (blue solid). MRR1, black circle; MMR2, red circle; MRR3, green circle; MRR4, blue circle; MRR5, cyan diamond; MRR6, magenta triangle.
Fig. 3. Schematic of experimental setup. EDFA, erbium-doped fiber amplifier; TBPFs, tunable bandpass filters; ATT, tunable attenuator; PC, polarization controller; AWG, arrayed waveguide grating; SPD, single photon detector.
Fig. 4. N c ′ versus P p for each sample. The fitted slopes are around 1.66, demonstrating that the measured photon pairs generated from SpFWM are dominant. The sequence of all samples in N c , order from high to low, agrees well with predictions.
Fig. 5. N c c (right, red) versus P p , including the measured data (triangle), the simulated data by Eq. (9 ) (solid), the modified data with detector saturation (dotted), and the modified data with nonlinear loss (dashed), and CAR versus P p (left, black) for (a)–(f) MRR1–MRR6.
Fig. 6. (a)–(f) Normalized transmittance (black solid), biquadrate of the normalized enhancement factor | F n ( λ p r ) | 4 (red solid), and measured coincidence rate (blue circle), versus the pump-resonance detuning λ p r for MRR1–MRR6 at P p = 3.98 mW , respectively.
