Mid-Infrared Single Photon Counting (2005)
Temporao, Guilherme, Tanzilli, Sebastien, Zbinden, Hugo, Gisin, Nicolas, Aellen, Thierry, Giovannini, Marcella, ...
We report a procedure to detect mid-infrared single photons at 4.65 um via a two-stage scheme based on Sum Frequency Generation, using a Periodically Poled Lithium Niobate (PPLN) nonlinear crystal...
A photonic quantum information interface (2005)
Tanzilli, Sebastien, Tittel, Wolfgang, Halder, Matthaeus, Alibart, Olivier, Baldi, Pascal, Gisin, Nicolas, ...
Quantum communication is the art of transferring quantum states, or quantum bits of information (qubits), from one place to another. On the fundamental side, this allows one to distribute...
High quality asynchronous heralded single photon source at telecom wavelength (2004)
Fasel, Sylvain, Alibart, Olivier, Beveratos, Alexios, Tanzilli, Sebastien, Zbinden, Hugo, Baldi, Pascal, ...
We report on the experimental realization and characterization of an asynchronous heralded single photon source based on spontaneous parametric down conversion. Photons at 1550nm are heralded as...
Guided wave technology for a telecom wavelength heralded single photon source (2004)
Alibart, Olivier, Tanzilli, Sebastien, Ostrowsky, Daniel Barry, Baldi, Pascal
We report on a guided wave heralded photon source based on the creation of non-degenerate photon pairs by spontaneous parametric down conversion in a Periodically Poled Lithium Niobate waveguide....
