Single photon source with rubidium vapor cells — •Arzu Yilmaz — Physikalisches Institut Universität Tübingen, Tübingen, Deutschland

We report on our work towards a single photon source with optical fibers in rubidium vapor cells. Using high laser intensities, we excite the atoms in front of the fiber. This causes a broadening of the atomic fluorescence spectrum beyond the thermal doppler width. As a result, correlations within the fluorescence signal should be observable, which might be used to realize a deterministic single photon source. Such sources are essential for quantum communication protocols and will open up new perspectives in future quantum technology.
