Single-photon modulation spectrum

doi:10.1088/1674-1056/23/1/010101

Abstract We present a robust method of single-photon modulation by directly modulating the single photons and observe its frequency spectrum. Compared with conventional photon counting technique, the single-photon modulation spectrum shows that the method could not only realize high-frequency modulation but also obtain higher signal-to-noise ratio. Moreover, the theoretical calculations show good agreement with the experimental results.

Keywords: signal-to-noise ratio single-photon modulation spectrum
