Abstract

We present the high efficient generation of narrow-band heralded single photons, widely tunable in wavelength and bandwidth using resonator enhanced spontaneous down conversion in a crystalline whispering gallery mode resonator.

Efficient heralding of pure single-photons at telecom wavelength from pulsed cavity-enhanced SPDC

Xavier Barcons Planas, Helen M. Chrzanowski, Leon Meßner +1 more

Highly efficient sources of pure single photons are essential for photonic quantum technologies. We present a source of pure single-photons with 85% heralding efficiency based on pulsed spontaneous parametric down-conversion in a monolithic cavity.

Lossless single photon shaping via heralding

Yu‐Ping Huang, Kahraman G. Köprülü, Geraldo A. Barbosa +1 more

Using spontaneous optical parametric down-conversion, we analyze and experimentally demonstrate heralded generation of shaped single photons, whose modes are losslessly tailored via amplitude modulation on the pump field that drives the down-conversion process.
