  • Abstract
    We experimentally demonstrate time-frequency entanglement of photon pairs produced in a cw-pumped quasi-phased-matched AlGaAs superlattice waveguide, producing 8×106 pairs/s with 96.0 ± 0.7% visibility without background subtraction, highest known visibility by far in AlGaAs waveguides.
