Low Noise Quantum Frequency Conversion of SnV-Resonant Photons to the Telecom C-Band — •David Lindler, Tobias Bauer, Marlon Schäfer, and Christoph Becher — Universität des Saarlandes, FR Physik, Campus E2.6, 66123 Saarbrücken

Tin-Vacancy-Centers (SnV) in diamond represent a promising candidate for quantum nodes in quantum communication networks, that store, process and distribute quantum information [1,2]. To exchange the information between these nodes over long distances through optical fiber links, the spin state of the SnV-Center is transfered onto single photons. These photons are then converted into the low-loss telecom bands via quantum frequency down-conversion, to avoid the problem of high loss in fibers for SnV-resonant photons at 619 nm. Scaling this to large networks requires a shared frequency reference frame to ensure, e.g, the indistinguishability of two converted photons from different nodes, when performing a Bell state measurement.

We here present a two-stage low noise scheme for quantum frequency conversion of SnV-resonant photons to the telecom C-band based on difference frequency generation in PPLN waveguides. The two step process drastically reduces noise at the target wavelength compared to the single step process [3]. We will present the conversion efficiency, conversion-induced noise count rates, and initial results on the frequency stabilization of the mixing laser.
