(color online) Dynamic control of the transmittance of single-photon level coherent microwave with LFM pulse. Incident microwave is at frequency 5.779 GHz. We apply a calibrated 1 μs LFM pulse and measure the response of S21. When the LFM is applied, the microwave is totally transmitted. Without LFM, the microwave is 80% reflected.
