Theory and experimental measurements of the pump and the signal photon. The pump has a star sin- gularity structure generated with the superposition of light beams carrying orbital angular momentum of 0 and 1 ̄h values, and opposite-handedness circular polarization. The signal photon is measured with a lemon singularity structure when the idler photon is projected along the diagonal polarization.

Atom-based Quantum Research
a) Sample fabrication. A thick silicon on insulator (SOI) sample is implanted with carbon ions and recrystallized by annealing at high temperature. By optical lithography and chemical etching, membranes are formed and then SiN is deposited. b) Scanning electron micrograph (SEM) of SOI membranes before SiN deposition. c) SEM of a strained SOI membrane with SiN on top. d) Photoluminescence spectra from an ensemble of G-centers as a function of the membrane size.
