Photonic quantum devices based on atomic vapors at room temperature are intrinsically reproducible as well as scalable and integrable. Besides a quantum memory for single photons one key device in the field of quantum information processing is an on-demand single-photon source. A promising candidate for realization relies on the combination of four-wave mixing and the Rydberg blockade effect, as demonstrated for ultracold atoms [1] and recently for room-temperature atoms in a micro-cell [2]. For the next generation single-photon source at high repetition rates, we can exploit the latest developments in laser technology by using a 1010 nm fiber amplifier to reach the Rydberg state. At a repetition rate of 1 MHz we reach a peak pulse-power of 100 W for Fourier-limited nanosecond pulses. Here we report on the characterization of two fiber amplifiers and on the latest status towards the high repetition rate single-photon generation at room-temperature.
