Single photon generation by pulsed excitation of a single dipole

Rosa Brouri, Alexios Beveratos, Jean-Philippe Poizat, Philippe Grangier

abstract: The fluorescence of a single dipole excited by an intense light pulse can lead to the generation of another light pulse containing a single photon. The influence of the duration and energy of the excitation pulse on the number of photons in the fluorescence pulse is studied. The case of a two-level dipole with strongly damped coherences is considered. The presence of a metastable state leading to shelving is also investigated.
