Single photons from a gain medium below threshold
arXiv:1805.03377 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevB.97.241301
Abstract
The emission from a nonlinear photonic mode coupled weakly to a gain medium operating below threshold is predicted to exhibit antibunching. In the steady state regime, analytical solutions for the relevant observable quantities are found in accurate agreement with exact numerical results. Under pulsed excitation, the unequal time second order correlation function demonstrates the triggered probabilistic generation of single photons well separated in time.
