本项目旨在为高性能量子光子源的发展研究新型单层穹顶结构。这项研究希望扩大我们对非线性光学材料中光子对产生的基本物理的理解。这种单层穹顶具有超高的光学非线性，这导致了强烈的光-物质相互作用，并使高效率的光子对产生成为可能。预期的结果是展示基于新材料的轻而强的量子光子源原型，它可以很容易地与量子通信技术的光子电路集成。这项研究可以加强新产业的发展，并创造就业机会。

This project aims to investigate novel monolayer domes for the development of high-performance quantum photon sources. This research expects to expand our understanding of fundamental physics of photon pair generation in nonlinear optical materials. Such monolayer domes have ultra-high optical nonlinearity, which gives rise to strong light-matter interactions and enables high-efficiency photon pair generation. The expected outcome is demonstration of a prototype light-weight and intense quantum photon source based on novel materials, which can be readily integrated with photonic circuits for quantum communication technologies. This research could strengthen the development of new industries and lead to job creation.
