Single-Photon Emitter using Frequency Comb - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240011834 titled 'Single-Photon Emitter using Frequency Comb
Simplified Explanation
The disclosed system is designed to generate an output photon with a specific frequency. It includes a frequency comb generator that produces a frequency comb, and a frequency comb mode selector that receives a heralding signal indicating the frequency of a second photon in a frequency-correlated photon pair. Based on this signal, the mode selector selects a comb spectral mode of the frequency comb. The system also includes a non-linear photonic element that receives the second photon and the selected comb spectral mode, and produces an output photon with the predefined frequency.
- The system generates an output photon with a predefined frequency.
- It uses a frequency comb generator to produce a frequency comb.
- A frequency comb mode selector receives a heralding signal representing the detection of a first photon in a frequency-correlated photon pair.
- The mode selector selects a comb spectral mode based on the received heralding signal.
- A non-linear photonic element receives the second photon and the selected comb spectral mode to produce the output photon with the predefined frequency.
Potential applications of this technology:
- Quantum communication: The ability to produce output photons with predefined frequencies can be used in quantum communication systems for secure transmission of information.
- Quantum computing: This system can be utilized in quantum computing platforms where precise control over the frequency of photons is required.
- Spectroscopy: The generation of output photons with specific frequencies can be useful in spectroscopic analysis and research.
Problems solved by this technology:
- Precise frequency control: The system allows for the generation of output photons with predefined frequencies, enabling precise control over the properties of the photons.
- Frequency-correlated photon pairs: The system can detect and utilize frequency-correlated photon pairs, which can be advantageous in various quantum applications.
Benefits of this technology:
- Enhanced security: The ability to generate output photons with predefined frequencies can contribute to the development of secure communication systems based on quantum principles.
- Improved quantum computing performance: The precise control over photon frequencies provided by this system can enhance the performance and reliability of quantum computing platforms.
