Research Abstract	In order to develop novel materials for room temperature generation of entangled photon pairs, we have proposed 1D-nanostructured organic semiconductors as promising material. Such structures, known as J aggregates, show anomalously strong exciton-polariton features even at room temperatures and possess fairly high generation efficiency of two-exciton states. Based on these findings, we have proposed in this research term to construct novel detection system for possible photon pair generations from such nanostructures and have achieved to establish technological bases to fair extent.
