Deterministic generation of single photons via multiplexing repetitive parametric downconversions
Boris L. Glebov, Jingyun Fan, Alan L. Migdall · Applied Physics Letters · 2013
We show through Monte Carlo simulation, under realistic experimental conditions, that a system composed of just a few repetitive spontaneous parametric downconversion processes can approximate an on-demand single-photon source with nearly deterministic single-photon emission.
