Abstract

Single-photon sources are key components in applications of photonic quantum technologies such as quantum key distribution (QKD) [1]. One way of realizing single-photon sources is generation of photon pairs (PP) using spontaneous four-wave mixing (FWM): two photons from a pump p annihilate and create two side-band photons at frequencies determined partly by the energy conservation 2ωρ = ω1 + ω2, where ωp,ω1,ω2 are the frequencies of the pump and the two side-bands, respectively, and partly by the phase-matching condition. PP generated spontaneously arrive at indeterministic times but even so, they are useful for QKD because one of the photons can be heralded by detecting the other. The heralded photons are then used for transmitting the quantum key.
