It is advantageous to operate the systems at telecommunication wavelengths and to integrate the setups for these applications in order to improve stability, compactness and scalability. A new promising material platform for integrated quantum optics is lithium niobate on insulator (LNOI). Here, we realise Hong-Ou-Mandel (HOM) interference between telecom photons from an engineered parametric down-conversion source in an LNOI directional coupler. The coupler has been designed and fabricated in house and provides close to perfect balanced beam splitting. We obtain a raw HOM visibility of (93.5 ± 0.7) %, limited mainly by the source performance and in good agreement with off-chip measurements. This lays the foundation for more sophisticated quantum experiments in LNOI.","lang":"eng"}],"user_id":"63231","author":[{"full_name":"Babel, Silia","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0002-1568-2580","first_name":"Silia","id":"63231","last_name":"Babel"},{"id":"61375","last_name":"Bollmers","full_name":"Bollmers, Laura","first_name":"Laura"},{"last_name":"Massaro","id":"59545","first_name":"Marcello","orcid":"0000-0002-2539-7652","full_name":"Massaro, Marcello"},{"first_name":"Kai Hong","orcid":"0000-0003-1008-4976","full_name":"Luo, Kai Hong","last_name":"Luo","id":"36389"},{"first_name":"Michael","full_name":"Stefszky, Michael","last_name":"Stefszky","id":"42777"},{"last_name":"Pegoraro","id":"88928","first_name":"Federico","full_name":"Pegoraro, Federico"},{"id":"68236","last_name":"Held","full_name":"Held, Philip","first_name":"Philip"},{"last_name":"Herrmann","id":"216","first_name":"Harald","full_name":"Herrmann, Harald"},{"full_name":"Eigner, Christof","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0002-5693-3083","first_name":"Christof","id":"13244","last_name":"Eigner"},{"last_name":"Brecht","id":"27150","first_name":"Benjamin","full_name":"Brecht, Benjamin","orcid":"0000-0003-4140-0556 "},{"id":"40300","last_name":"Padberg","full_name":"Padberg, Laura","first_name":"Laura"},{"full_name":"Silberhorn, Christine","first_name":"Christine","id":"26263","last_name":"Silberhorn"}],"publisher":"Optica Publishing Group","keyword":["Atomic and Molecular Physics","and Optics"],"publication":"Optics Express","status":"public","date_created":"2023-07-03T14:08:36Z","volume":31,"intvolume":" 31","_id":"45850","issue":"14","article_number":"23140","type":"journal_article","citation":{"short":"S.
