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.
