Abstract
We demonstrate a monolithic III-V photonic circuit combining a heralded single photon source
with a beamsplitter, at room temperature and telecom wavelength. Pulsed parametric down-
conversion in an AlGaAs waveguide generates counterpropagating photons, one of which is used
to herald the injection of its twin into the beamsplitter. We use this configuration to implement an
integrated Hanbury-Brown and Twiss experiment, yielding a heralded second-order correlation
