Abstract
We demonstrate photon-pair generation via spontaneous parametric down-conversion (SPDC) from two types of metasurfaces composed by AlGaAs nanocylinders: 1) monolithically fabricated on a selectively oxidized layer of AlAs epitaxially grown on a GaAs wafer; 2) fabricated by reporting the AlGaAs nanostructures on a transparent wafer via wafer bonding. In these samples, we observed SPDC both in back- and forward-scattering configurations, under excitation with a CW pump around 775 nm and single-photon detection on the signal and idler channels. The Bragg modulation of Mie-resonances enables paraxial SPDC, which demonstrates the potential of all-dielectric metasurfaces for quantum applications like on-axis quantum imaging.
