摘要:

我们展示了一种基于光纤的窄带 heralded 单光子源,适用于电信C波段。通过在掺锗区域的光子晶体光纤(PCF)中发生自发四波混频,生成光子对。将光纤布拉格光栅(FBG)通过紫外写入到PCF中,其带宽为0.2 nm,对比度为17.5 dB,用于反射光子对光谱中的亚纳米切片。这使得窄带光子可以通过检测事件在光纤近端被 heralded,通过远端端口的检测事件。我们提供了光子计数数据,其同时率与偶然率比值最高可达70。我们的源展示了可行的路线,用于光纤集成的窄带 heralded 单光子源,适用于与量子存储器耦合和异构量子比特类型的接口。

英文摘要:

We present a fiber-based source of narrowband heralded single photons in the telecoms C-band. Photon pairs were generated by spontaneous four-wave mixing in photonic crystal fiber (PCF) with a germanium-doped region incorporated into its core for enhanced photosensitivity. A fiber Bragg grating (FBG) with a bandwidth of 0.2 nm and contrast of 17.5 dB was UV-written into the PCF to reflect a sub-nanometre slice of the photon-pair spectrum. This allowed narrowband photons to be heralded at the proximal end of the fiber by detection events after the distal end. We present photon counting data with a coincidence-to-accidental ratio of up to 70. Our source demonstrates a viable route to fiber-integrated narrowband heralded single photon sources suitable for coupling to quantum memories and interfacing heterogeneous qubit types.
