DOI: 10.1103/physreva.98.053811
Abstract: When building a parametric down-conversion photon-pair source with spectrally separable photons, e.g., for making high-purity heralded single photons, two practical issues must be accounted for: the design of the experiment, and its characterization. To address… read more here.

DOI: 10.1364/oe.409882
Abstract: A simple, room-temperature, cavity- and vacuum-free interface for a photon-matter interaction is implemented. In the experiment, a heralded single photon generated by the process of spontaneous parametric down-conversion is absorbed by an ensemble of nitrogen-vacancy… read more here.

DOI: 10.1364/ol.44.001427
Abstract: Optically induced ultrafast switching of single photons is demonstrated by rotating the photon polarization via the Kerr effect in a commercially available single-mode fiber. A switching efficiency of 97% is achieved with a ∼1.7 ps switching… read more here.
