title = "Slow-light enhanced correlated photon pair generation in a silicon photonic crystal waveguide",
abstract = "We report the generation of correlated photon pairs in the telecom C-band at room temperature from a dispersionengineered silicon photonic crystal waveguide. The spontaneous four-wave mixing process producing the photon pairs is enhanced by slow-light propagation enabling an active device length of less than 100 μm. With a coincidence to accidental ratio of 12.8 at a pair generation rate of 0.006 per pulse, this ultracompact photon pair source paves the way toward scalable quantum information processing realized on-chip.",
