Abstract

The real triggered single molecule source is recognized as an ideal single photon source with a Poissonian statistics background. By considering the effect of the triplet state in single molecule energy level, an explicit function is given for the signaltobackgound ratio(SBR) by use of photoncounting statistics. When PRS(1)2PRS(2)-3PRS(2), we present an effici ent method to determine the SBR of the triggered single photons source, which s hows SBR=P2RS(1)/2PRS(2).In addition, the expression of Q, as a function of signaltobackgound ratio, has been obtained. It turns o ut that this method is simpler and gives a greater accuracy than previous proce dures.

Effect of Background Noise on the Photon Statistics of Triggered Single Molecules

Liantuan Xiao, 赵延霆, Tao Huang +3 more

We theoretically derive exact expressions for Mandel's Q parameter of the triggered single molecular source, which is inferred from the probabilities PRs (n) using the recorded of each photon detection event based on Hanbury Brown and Twiss detection. The real triggered source is recognized as an ideal single photon source with a Poissonian statistics background. How to decease the background and to increase the efficiency are discussed. It is established that the sub-Poissonian statistics formation can be determined by comparing the measured QRs of the real single triggered molecular with Qc of the Poissonian source containing the same mean photons. By this method, we also give an efficient way to measure signal-to-background ratios of triggered single photons.

Identifying single molecule based on the photon statistics

Peng Shuang-Yan, Huang Tao, Xiaobo Wang +4 more

We theoretically study the photon counting statistics characterizations of the real single molecular photon source with a Poisson statistics background and that of an ideal double molecular system based on the standard HBT detection. Mandel parameter Q of each source with the same mean photons n—was analyzed. We have obtained an efficient method to identify single molecule by the two-photon statistics probability P(2), which shows the relation P(2)2. Additionally, we studied the effect of single-to-background ratio of the single molecular photon source on the criterion.

By use of Hanbury-Brown-Twiss method, the photon statistics P(n, n=0、1、2) and the Mandel parameter are analyzed by recording of every photo-electrical event from the single photon source. When signal to background ratio SBR2.4, an efficient method to distinguish single molecules by the double-photon statistics probability P(2), which shows P(2)12(2-4-2n-)~2, is presented.
