Heralded single-photon source utilizing highly nondegenerate, spectrally factorable spontaneous parametric downconversion.
We report on the generation of an indistinguishable heralded single-photon state, using highly nondegenerate spontaneous parametric downconversion (SPDC). Spectrally factorable photon pairs can be generated by incorporating a broadband pump pulse and a group-velocity matching (GVM) condition in a periodically-poled potassium titanyl phosphate (PPKTP) crystal. The heralding photon is in the near...
متن کاملHigh-yield single-photon source using gated spontaneous parametric downconversion.
The construction of a single-photon source by use of gated parametric fluorescence is reported with the measurement results of the photon number distribution. A beamlike twin-photon method is used in order to achieve high-collection efficiency. The estimated probability P(1) to find a single photon in a collimated output pulse is 26.5% at a repetition rate of 10 kHz when the effective quantum e...
متن کاملHighly indistinguishable heralded single-photon sources using parametric down conversion.
We theoretically and experimentally investigate the conditions necessary to realize highly indistinguishable single-photon sources using parametric down conversion. The visibilities of Hong-Ou-Mandel (HOM) interference between photons in different fluorescence pairs were measured and a visibility of 95.8 ± 2% was observed using a 0.7-mm-long beta barium borate crystal and 2-nm bandpass filters,...
متن کاملPhoton-number state on-demand source by cavity parametric downconversion
The authors propose a realizable scheme for an arbitrary photon-number state on-demand source based on parametric downconversion in a doubly resonant photonic cavity. The signal-wavelength resonance serves as storage for signal photons and the idler-wavelength resonance generates time separation between exiting idler photons, enabling photon-number-resolving detection. The counting of idler pho...
متن کاملDesign of bright, fiber-coupled and fully factorable photon pair sources
From quantum computation to quantum key distribution, many quantumenhanced applications rely on the ability to generate pure single-photons. Even though the process of spontaneous parametric downconversion is widely used as the basis for photon-pair sources, the conditions for pure heralded single-photon generation, taking into account both spectral and spatial degrees of freedom, have not been...
