We report on cascaded frequency conversion at the single-photon level, consisting of a downconversion from the red (738 nm) to a telecom band (1403 nm) and the reverse upconversion process in the same nonlinear crystal. Detecting the converted single photons suffers from a large noise floor. We were able to recover the signal by implementing a lock-in analyzer technique in the data postprocessing.
我们报告了在单光子水平上的级联频率转换,包括从红色(738nm)向下转换到电信波段(1403nm)以及在同一非线性晶体中反向上转换过程。在检测转换后的单光子时,会受到较大的噪声基底的影响。我们通过在数据后处理中实现锁相放大器技术,成功地恢复了信号。
