Heralding Single Photons from Pulsed Parametric Down-Conversion
arXiv:quant-ph/0408093 · doi:10.1016/j.optcom.2004.11.027
Abstract
We describe an experiment in which photon pairs from a pulsed parametric down-conversion source were coupled into single-mode fibers. Detecting one of the photons heralded the presence of the other photon in its fiber with a probability of 83%. The heralded photons were then used in a simple multi-photon interference experiment to illustrate their potential for quantum information applications.
