Fig. 5. Measured second-order correlation g(2) (Eq. 4) for the signal and idler (green and orange points, respectively) and for coherent states (gray points) for different values of photon number n.
Data are collected over a range of pump pulse energies corresponding approximately to 0.1- to 1-nJ on-chip. Coherent state data were acquired using attenuated laser pulses and show excellent agreement with the predicted g(2) = 1 for coherent states.
