Frequency translation via four-wave mixing Bragg scattering in Rb filled photonic bandgap fibers

We demonstrate frequency translation at microwatt pump power levels in Rubidium vapor confined to a hollow-core photonic bandgap fiber using four-wave mixing Bragg scattering. The 5S(1/2)→5D(3/2) two-photon transition in 85Rb is employed for the four-wave mixing process. Using continuous-wave pump beams at 780 and 795 nm, a weak signal beam at 776 nm is translated to a wavelength of 762 nm with a 21% conversion efficiency at pump powers of 300 μW.

Efficient quantum frequency translation of broadband single photons by Bragg-scattering four-wave mixing

Ramy Tannous, Philip J. Bustard, Duncan G. England +3 more

We experimentally demonstrate frequency translation of a non-classical optical field by Bragg-scattering four-wave mixing, driven by orthogonally polarized pump pulses in a birefringent optical fiber. Heralded single photons are up- and down-translated by 6.8 THz between bands at 688.1 nm and 678.2 nm, each with efficiency > 97%. The input and output spectral shape and bandwidth show negligible modulation. Second-order auto-correlation measurements of the 678.2 nm and 688.1 nm fields at maximum conversion yield values of 0.0302 ± 0.0005 and 0.028 ± 0.001, respectively, compared with the input second-order correlation of 0.026 ± 0.001; this indicates that the frequency translation process preserves the non-classical nature of the field. The high efficiency, broad bandwidth, and low noise render this scheme useful for quantum networks and sources.
