Achieving Higher Photon Counting Rates Using Multiplexed Detectors

August 13, 2006
Author(s)
Stefania Castelletto, Ivo P. Degiovanni, Alan L. Migdall, Sergey Polyakov, V Schettini
As the quantum information field advances, the need for improved single-photon devices is becoming more critical. Quantum information systems are often limited by detector deadtime to count rates of a few MHz, at best. We present a multiplexed detection

Raman Suppression in a Microstructure Fiber With Dual Laser Pumps

May 21, 2006
Author(s)
Jingyun Fan, Alan L. Migdall
Coupling two frequency-conjugate laser pulses into an optical fiber, we observe at the middle frequency either enhanced photon generation via four-wave mixing or suppressed Raman emission depending on the phase difference between the two pumps.

Efficient generation of correlated photon pairs in a microstructure fiber

December 15, 2005
Author(s)
Jingyun Fan, Alan L. Migdall, L Wang
We report efficient generation of correlated photon pairs through degenerate four-wave mixing in a microstructure fiber. With 735.7 nm pump pulses producing correlated signal (688.5 nm) and idler (789.8 nm) photons in a 1.8 m microstructure fiber, we

We report efficient generation of correlated photon pairs through degenerate four-wave mixing in microstructure fibers. With 735.7 nm pump pulses producing conjugate signal (688.5 nm) and idler (789.8 nm) photons in an 1.8 m microstructure fiber, we detect

A Microstructure Fiber Two Photon Source With Conjugate Laser Pumps

August 25, 2005
Author(s)
Jingyun Fan, Alan L. Migdall, L Wang
We present a systematic experimental study of generating correlated photon pairs using a reversed degenerate four-wave mixing process. By overlapping a pair of parallel- (or cross-) polarized laser pump pulses at conjugate frequencies in a microstructure

Efficiently Generation of Correlated Photon Pairs in Microstructure Fibers

May 22, 2005
Author(s)
Jingyun Fan, Alan L. Migdall, L Wang
We report the efficient generation of correlated photon pairs by four-wave mixing in a 1.8 meter long microstructure fiber. The detected coincidence rate is 10,000/s with 0.8 nm collection bandwidth, the highest to date in a fiber-based photon source. The
