1211.5922 (Christoph Kurz et al.)

A high-rate source for single photons in a pure quantum state    [PDF]

Christoph Kurz, Jan Huwer, Michael Schug, Philipp Müller, Jürgen Eschner
We report on the efficient generation of single photons, making use of spontaneous Raman scattering in a single trapped ion. The photons are collected through in-vacuum high-NA objectives. Photon frequency, polarization and temporal shape are controlled through appropriate laser parameters, allowing for photons in a pure quantum state.
