Efficient Single-Mode Photon-Coupling Device Utilizing a Nanofiber Tip
Single-photon sources are important elements in quantum optics and quantum information science. It is crucial that such sources be able to couple photons emitted from a single quantum emitter to a single propagating mode, preferably to the guided mode of a single-mode optical fiber, with high efficiency. Various photonic devices have been successfully demonstrated to efficiently couple photons ...
متن کاملModal Coupling of Single Photon Emitters Within Nanofiber Waveguides
Nanoscale generation of individual photons in confined geometries is an exciting research field aiming at exploiting localized electromagnetic fields for light manipulation. One of the outstanding challenges of photonic systems combining emitters with nanostructured media is the selective channelling of photons emitted by embedded sources into specific optical modes and their transport at dista...
متن کاملEfficient Self-Aligning Multibeam Coupling into a Single-Mode Fiber
We present and demonstrate a method for efficient coupling of many beams into a single-mode fiber. Using the phase conjugating property for mutually incoherent beams of the Double Phase Conjugate Mirror (DPCM), we achieved coupling for a full 6x6 matrix of beams into a single-mode fiber. In principle, this number of input channels can be increased manifold beyond the 36 used in our experiment. ...
متن کاملOn the measurement of two-photon single-mode coupling efficiency in parametric down-conversion photon sources
Photon-based quantum information schemes have increased the need for light sources that produce individual photons, with many such schemes relying on optical parametric down-conversion (PDC). Practical realizations of this technology require that the PDC light be collected into a single spatial mode defined by an optical fibre. In this paper, we present two possible models to describe single-mo...
متن کاملEfficient multi-mode to single-mode coupling in a photonic lantern.
We demonstrate the fabrication of a high performance multi-mode (MM) to single-mode (SM) splitter or "photonic lantern", first described by Leon-Saval et al. (2005). Our photonic lantern is a solid all-glass version, and we show experimentally that this device can be used to achieve efficient and reversible coupling between a MM fiber and a number of SM fibers, when perfectly matched launch con...
