We report the high-quality narrowband biphoton generation from a Doppler-broadened hot rubidium atomic vapor. Utilizing optimized energy scheme for both spontaneous four-wave mixing and electromagnetically induced transparency, we achieve a spectral brightness of 14,000 s−1MHz−1.

Generation of subnatural-linewidth biphotons from a hot rubidium atomic vapor cell

Yanhong Xiao, Chi Shu, Lingbang Zhu +4 more

We report the generation of narrowband entangled photon pairs (biphotons) from a hot atomic vapor cell. Making use of backward spontaneous four-wave mixing with electromagnetically induced transparency (EIT), we produced subnatural-linewidth (1.9 MHz < 6 MHz) biphotons from a Doppler-broadened (0.5 GHz) hot (63 C) paraffin-coated rubidium 87 vapor cell. The biphoton coherence time is controable and can be tuned up to 100 ns by EIT. The uncorrelated photons from resonance Raman scattering are suppressed by a spatially separated and tailored optical pumping beam. The spectral brightness is as high as 14,000 s−1MHz−1. As compared with the cold-atom experiment , the hot atomic vapour cell configuration is much simpler for operation and maintenance, and it is a continuous biphoton source. Our demonstration may lead to miniature narrowband biphoton sources based on atomic vapour cells for practical quantum applications and engineering.
