Temporal shaping of a heralded single-photon wave packet

Abstract

We report the temporal shaping and nonlocal control of a heralded single-photon wave packet, conditionally prepared by detecting the idler trigger photon of the signal-idler photon pair born in the process of spontaneous parametric down-conversion.

Temporal shaping of a heralded single-photon wave packet

So-Young Baek, Osung Kwon, Yoon-Ho Kim

We experimentally demonstrate temporal shaping of a heralded single-photon wave packet, prepared by conditional measurement of the idler photon of the entangled photon pair in the process of spontaneous parametric down-conversion. The heralded single-photon wave packet for the signal photon, after being tailored with the help of chirp broadening and interference effects, was observed directly by measuring the time-correlated single-photon-counting histogram. We also demonstrate remote control of the temporal shaping effect by spectral filtering of the idler photon.

Nonlocal Dispersion Control of a Localized Single-Photon Wave Packet

So-Young Baek, Osung Kwon, Yoon-Ho Kim

We report temporal spreading of a localized single-photon wave packet, conditionally prepared by detecting the trigger photon of the photon pair born in the process of spontaneous parametric down-conversion, propagating through a single-mode optical fiber. The wave packet broadening is shown to be controllable by spectrally filtering the trigger photon.

Generation of Fourier-transform-limited heralded single photons

Alfred B. U’Ren, Yasser Jerónimo-Moreno, Hipolito Garcia-Gracia

In this paper we study the spectral (temporal) properties of heralded single photon wave packets, triggered by the detection of an idler photon in the process of parametric down conversion. The generated single photons are studied within the framework of the chronocyclic Wigner function, from which the single photon spectral width and temporal duration can be computed. We derive specific conditions on the two-photon joint spectral amplitude which result in both pure and Fourier-transform-limited heralded single photons. Likewise, we present specific source geometries which lead to the fulfillment of these conditions and show that one of these geometries leads, for a given pump bandwidth, to the temporally shortest possible heralded single photon wave packets.

Nonlocal dispersion control of a single-photon waveform

So-Young Baek, Osung Kwon, Yoon-Ho Kim

We demonstrate explicitly that a single-photon waveform, conditionally prepared by detecting the trigger photon of the photon pair born in the process of spontaneous parametric down-conversion, becomes broadened and chirped as the result of propagation through a single-mode optical fiber. The pulselike broadening of the single-photon waveform, due to the group velocity dispersion of the optical fiber, is shown to be controllable in a nonlocal way by spectrally filtering the trigger photon.

Significance of Heralding in Spontaneous Parametric Down-Conversion

Mark Bashkansky, I. Vurgaftman, John F. Reintjes

We demonstrate both theoretically and experimentally that heralding in spontaneous parametric down-conversion using non-photon-number-resolving detectors can only be used to characterize the signal-idler correlations rather than the nature of the signal-photon state alone.
