Silicon Photonic Chip Placed on a Temperature-Controlled Stage

Caption

During the experiments, the silicon photonic chip was placed on a temperature-controlled stage. Fibers (not shown) were used to couple the optical pump beam to the chip at one of the cleaved facets (left side of the chip), and extract the generated photon pair from the cleaved facet at the right side of the chip.
