Design of diamond microcavities for single photon frequency down-conversion.
We propose monolithic diamond cavities that can be used to convert color-center Fock-state single photons from emission wavelengths to telecommunication bands. We present a detailed theoretical description of the conversion process, analyzing important practical concerns such as nonlinear phase shifts and frequency mismatch. Our analysis predicts sustainable power requirements (≲ 1 W) for a chi...
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 کاملReducing noise in single-photon-level frequency conversion.
We demonstrate low-noise and efficient frequency conversion by sum-frequency mixing in a periodically poled LiNbO(3) (PPLN) waveguide. Using a 1556 nm pump, 1302 nm photons are efficiently converted to 709 nm photons. We obtain 70% conversion efficiency in the PPLN waveguide and >50% external conversion efficiency with 600 noise counts per second at peak conversion with continuous-wave pumping....
متن کاملSingle Photon Detection Using Frequency Up-Conversion with Pulse Pumping
In any quantum communication system, such as a quantum key distribution (QKD) system, data rates are mainly limited by the system clock rate and the various link losses. While the transmission clock rate is limited by the temporal resolution of the single-photon detectors, losses in a fiber-based quantum communication system can be minimized by operating in the near infrared range (NIR), at 131...
متن کاملTunable single-photon frequency conversion in a Sagnac interferometer.
Quantum information carriers like photons might be manipulated, stored and transmitted in different quantum systems. It is important to integrate those systems efficiently. The capability of converting photons from one wavelength to another wavelength is a key requirement for combining the photons in telecommunications band for quantum transmission and the photons in near-visible band for quant...
