High-resolution spectroscopy of deterministically generated single photons from a single 40Ca+ ion — •Matthias Kreis, Konstantin Klein, Jurek Frey, Chrisitan Haen, and Jürgen Eschner — Universität des Saarlandes, Experimentalphysik, 66123 Saarbrücken

Single photons with well-controlled spectral and temporal properties are an essential resource for optical quantum communication protocols. Complementing existing work on the temporal shape of such photons, here we report on the measurement of their spectra, theoretically treated in [1].

We investigate single photons generated from a single 40Ca+-ion by a controlled Raman scattering process in the Λ-shaped 3-level configuration consisting of the D5/2 (m=−5/2), P3/2 (m=−3/2), and S1/2 (m=−1/2) Zeeman states.

The spectra are measured with a temperature-stable, 396-mm long Fabry-Perot cavity with 620 kHz linewidth, a finesse of 611 and 6 % on-resonance transmission, actively stabilized to a 393-nm laser resonant to the ion. Photons are generated with up to 150 kHz repetition rate and detected behind the cavity with up to 30 Hz count rate.
