Lossless single photon shaping via heralding
Yu‐Ping Huang, Kahraman G. Köprülü, Geraldo A. Barbosa, Prem Kumar · Nonlinear Optics · 2011
Using spontaneous optical parametric down-conversion, we analyze and experimentally demonstrate heralded generation of shaped single photons, whose modes are losslessly tailored via amplitude modulation on the pump field that drives the down-conversion process.
