Highly Efficient Biphoton Generation from Thin Dense Atomic Ensemble by Heewoo Kim, Hansol Jeong, Han Seb Moon

“…Strongly correlated bright biphotons are generated via spontaneous four‐wave mixing from a dense atomic ensemble based on the 6S1/2–6P3/2–6D5/2 transition of 133Cs. Biphoton source achieves a detected biphoton count rate of 100 kilo‐counts per second, a heralding efficiency of 15%, and a maximum normalized crosscorrelation function value of 100 between the signal and idler photons, despite the low detector efficiency of a silicon avalanche photodetector being less than 25% at 917 nm. …”
