Ultrafast single-photon detection at high repetition rates based on optical Kerr gates under focusing — •Amr Farrag1, Abdul-Hamid Fattah1, Assegid Mengistu Flatae1, and Mario Agio1,2 — 1Laboratory of Nano-Optics and Cµ, University of Siegen, 57072 Siegen, Germany — 2National Institute of Optics (INO), National Research Council (CNR), 50125 Florence, Italy
Abstract:
The ultrafast single-photon detection of quantum emitters has become recently vital, as there are faster emission processes that the current techniques cannot resolve. To overcome this limitation, here we present a semi-analytical model using the Optical-Kerr-shutter (OKS) technique at GHz rate under focused illumination, showing a gate efficiency around 70%. The findings will form the basis for experimental demonstration of time-resolved ultrafast detection of single emitters. In addition, it will be beneficial for various fields for instance, quantum nanophotonics, quantum information science and quantum optics.
