Abstract

In this Letter we demonstrate heralded single-photon generation in a III-V semiconductor photonic crystal platform through spontaneous four-wave mixing. We achieve a high brightness of 3.4 × 10⁷ pairs · s ^-1 nm^-1 W^-1 facilitated through dispersion engineering and the suppression of two-photon absorption in the gallium indium phosphide material. Photon pairs are generated with a coincidence-to-accidental ratio over 60 and a low g²* (0) of 0.06 proving nonclassical operation in the single photon regime.
