摘要：
具有光子聚束特性的热光源已被建议用于利用静止光的时间相关性的传感应用，包括测距、时钟同步和非视线成像。然而，这些提议在实践中仍未实现，因为现有的光子聚束源要么具有太短的相干时间，无法被光电探测器时间分辨，要么产生的亮度水平太低，无法容忍现实的回波损耗。在本工作中，我们演示了一种低损耗方法，用于生成光子聚束，其转换效率比许多其他聚束过程高近9个数量级。
英文摘要：
Thermal light sources exhibiting photon bunching have been suggested for sensing applications that exploit timing correlations of stationary light, including range finding, clock synchronization, and non-line-of-sight imaging. However, these proposals have remained unrealized in practice because available sources of photon bunching either possess coherence times too short to be timing resolved by photodetectors, or produce brightness levels too low to tolerate realistic return losses. In this work, we demonstrate a low-loss method for generating photon bunching with a conversion efficiency nearly 9 orders of magnitude higher than that achieved by many other bunching processes.
