arXiv:0910.2440 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevA.81.013808
Abstract
We derive calculations on the statistics of a heralded single photon source based on parametric photon pair generation. These calculations highlight fundamental and practical limits for these sources, and show which physical parameters can be optimized to improve the quality of a real source.
