摘要:

使用腔增强非简并参量下转换,我们构建了一个频率可调的预示单光子源,具有8 MHz的窄带宽,使其与原子量子存储器兼容。光子态是70%纯的单光子,其特征在于由断层扫描测量和量子态的重建,揭示了一个明显的负维格纳函数。此外,它的光谱亮度为每MHz带宽约1,500光子/秒,使其成为可用的最亮单光子源之一。我们还调查了关联函数的下转换字段使用两个非常不同的检测方法的组合;光子计数和零差测量。

英文摘要:

Using cavity-enhanced non-degenerate parametric downconversion, we have built a frequency tunable source of heralded single photons with a narrow bandwidth of 8 MHz, making it compatible with atomic quantum memories. The photon state is 70% pure single photon as characterized by a tomographic measurement and reconstruction of the quantum state, revealing a clearly negative Wigner function. Furthermore, it has a spectral brightness of ~1,500 photons/s per MHz bandwidth, making it one of the brightest single photon sources available. We also investigate the correlation function of the down-converted fields using a combination of two very distinct detection methods; photon counting and homodyne measurement.
