摘要:
金刚石中的杂质-空位中心提供了一类新型具有多样量子特性的鲁棒光子源。单个色心通常充当单光子源,而理论上预测其集合体具有可调谐的光子发射统计特性。重要的是,特定的激发类型会影响金刚石晶体中色心集合的发射特性。光激发有利于集合内色心的非同步激发,而电子束激发可以使发射体同步,从而实现对二阶关联函数$g_2(0)$的调控。在这篇快报中,我们通过实验证明,来自色心集合的光子流的$g_2(0)$既可以大于1,也可以小于1。这种基于金刚石晶体中少量色心集合的光子源,为室温下运行的信息技术提供了高度可调谐的平台。
英文摘要:
Impurity-vacancy centers in diamond offer a new class of robust photon sources with versatile quantum properties. While individual color centers commonly act as single-photon sources, their ensembles have been theoretically predicted to have tunable photon-emission statistics. Importantly, the particular type of excitation affects the emission properties of a color center ensemble within a diamond crystal. While optical excitation favors non-synchronized excitation of color centers within an ensemble, electron-beam excitation can synchronize the emitters and thereby provides a control of the second-order correlation function $g_2(0)$. In this letter, we demonstrate experimentally that the photon stream from an ensemble of color centers can exhibit $g_2(0)$ both above and below unity. Such a photon source based on an ensemble of few color centers in a diamond crystal provides a highly tunable platform for informational technologies operating at room temperature.
