Abstract

We consider quantum frequency conversion using four-wave mixing Bragg scattering and the prospects for multiplexing using the temporal modes.We find that there is an optimal strength parameter, but that the fiber length is less critical.

Two theoretical models for frequency conversion (FC) using nondegenerate four-wave mixing are compared, and their range of validity are discussed. Quantum-state-preserving FC allows for arbitrary reshaping of states for an appropriate pump selection.

Translation of quantum states by four-wave mixing in fibers

Optical frequency conversion by four-wave mixing (Bragg scattering) in a fiber is considered. If the frequencies and polarizations of the waves are chosen judiciously, Bragg scattering enables the translation of individual and entangled states, without the noise pollution associated with parametric amplification (modulation instability or phase conjugation), and with reduced noise pollution associated with stimulated Raman scattering.

Quantum state preserving frequency conversion using four-wave mixing in optical fibers: The impact of Raman scattering

Karsten K. Rottwitt, Mathias Linde Holst Korsgaard, Jacob G. Koefoed

Using a theoretical model, we investigate the impact due to Raman scattering on frequency conversion obtained via Bragg scattering four-wave mixing in optical fibers. We predict the second order correlation functions and show that by using a specific polarization configuration of the pumps and signal it is possible to significantly mitigate the impact of Raman scattering by reducing the second order correlation function by at least a factor of two.

We optimize frequency conversion based on four-wave mixing by using the input modes of the system. We find a 10-25 % higher conversion efficiency relative to a pump-shaped input signal.

Fiber characterization for single-photon frequency conversion applications

Clélia Deroo-Blanquart, Vincent Pêcheur, Stéphane Clemmen

Bragg Scattering Four-Wave mixing (BS-4WM) is used in fibers to frequency shift single photons. We investigate how its phase matching condition can be controlled by changing the fiber temperature. We then are able to optimize the efficiency of the BS-4WM process for selected wavelengths that will ultimately allow a scheme of active multiplexing of single photons.
