Abstract

We demonstrate two-photon interference using two remote organic molecules as bright solid-state sources of indistinguishable photons. By varying the transition frequency and spectral width of one molecule, we explore the effect of photon distinguishability.

We demonstrate two-photon interference using two remote single molecules as bright solid-state sources of indistinguishable photons. By varying the transition frequency and spectral width of one molecule, we tune and explore the effect of photon distinguishability. We discuss future improvements on the brightness of single-photon beams, their integration by large numbers on chips, and the extension of our experimental scheme to coupling and entanglement of distant molecules.

Realization of two Fourier-limited solid-state single-photon sources

R. Lettow, Ville Ahtee, R. Pfab +4 more

We demonstrate two solid-state sources of indistinguishable single photons. High resolution laser spectroscopy and optical microscopy were combined at T = 1.4 K to identify individual molecules in two independent microscopes. The Stark effect was exploited to shift the transition frequency of a given molecule and thus obtain single photon sources with perfect spectral overlap. Our experimental arrangement sets the ground for the realization of various quantum interference and information processing experiments. (c) 2007 Optical Society of America.

The time trace of two-photon interference from distinct molecular emitters in the solid-state is analyzed to extract their spectral difference without resorting to fitting. This opens the path towards robust on-line monitoring of quantum emitters.

We report a device in which the emission energy of single quantum dots can be Stark-shifted 25meV. We tune transitions in remote quantum dots to the same energy and observe two-photon interference with their emission.
