Telecommunications-band single photons from a quantum dot are upconverted using <1 ns, 1550 nm pulses to create Gaussian-shaped single photon pulses at 710 nm. Such a technique will be useful for integrating quantum systems via photons.

We report the frequency downconversion of single photons from a quantum dot (710nm) to the telecommunications O-band with over-all conversion efficiency of 33%. We show the conservation of nonclassical statistics and coherence properties during conversion.

We demonstrate single-photon frequency-upconversion using a titanium-infused periodically-poled lithium niobate waveguide by L-band erbium-doped fiber amplifier pump. Internal efficiencies up to 84.4% and dark-count rate of 44kHz are achieved with narrowband filtering down to 3.5GHz.
