摘要:

不断发展的光子量子技术和应用需要越来越高的单光子产生速率。同时,要求这些产生的光子在多光子实验中保持光谱纯,并将多光子噪声保持在最低限度。在自发参量下转换源中,这些要求是相互冲突的,因为增加光谱纯度的光谱滤波总是意味着降低光子产生的速率,而增加泵浦功率意味着增加多光子噪声。在本文中,我们提出了一个计划,称为扩展的先驱,其目的是减轻减少单光子产生率下光谱滤波去除的情况下,我们检测到光的先驱光子的过滤器的抑制带。我们的实验表明,这允许更高的单光子产生率与更低的多光子噪声比忽略模式落在滤波器带宽的标准方法。我们还表明,通过使用主动前馈控制的基础上,这种扩展的预示,它是可能的,以进一步提高性能的原始源物理消除不相关的光子从输出流。

英文摘要:

Evolving photonic quantum technologies and applications require higher and higher rates of single photon generation. In parallel, it is required that these generated photons are kept spectrally pure for multi-photon experiments and that multi-photon noise be kept to a minimum. In spontaneous parametric down-conversion sources, these requirements are conflicting, because spectral filtering to increase spectral purity always means lowering the rate at which photons are generated, and increasing the pump power means increasing the multi-photon noise. In this paper, we present a scheme, called extended heralding, which aims to mitigate the reduction of single-photon generation rate under spectral filtering by removing cases where we detect light in the rejection band of the heralding photon's filter. Our experiment shows that this allows for higher single-photon generation rates with lower multi-photon noise than the standard approach of neglecting modes falling out of the filter bandwidth. We also show that by using active feed-forward control based on this extended heralding, it is possible to further improve the performance of the original source by physically eliminating uncorrelated photons from the output stream.
