Analysis of Heralded Single-Photon Source Using Four-Wave Mixing in Optical Fibers via Wigner Function and its Use in Quantum Key Distribution

Daniel Barbosa de Brito, Rubens Viana Ramos

In this paper, we use the Wigner function in order to determine the photon number statistics of a heralded single-photon source constructed from a photon-pair source using four-wave mixing in optical fibers. Having this result, we discuss the performance of a quantum key distribution system when this kind of single-photon source is employed.

We report a bright and tunable heralded single photon source at telecom using four-wave-mixing in a commericial birefringent fiber. The source exhibits a purity of 85%, CAR of 100 and raw heralding efficiency of 30%.

Characterization of a fiber-based source of heralded single photons

Lei Yang, Xiaoxin Ma, Xueshi Guo +2 more

Starting from the derived expression of the Bogoliubov transformation for a broadband pulsed pump, we theoretically characterize the heralded single-photon source, which is based on the signal and idler photon pairs produced in optical fiber via spontaneous four-wave mixing by a pulsed pump. The second-order intensity correlation function, heralding efficiency, indistinguishability, and brightness of the heralded single photons as a function of source parameters, are analyzed and discussed. The validity of the theoretical analysis and calculations are confirmed by the experimental results. The investigations are useful for optimizing the source parameters and for developing a single-photon source suitable for quantum-information processing.
