Commissioning of a Highly Customized 1010 nm, ns-Pulsed, Yb-Doped Fiber Amplifier for On-Demand Single-Photon Generation

Abstract

Parametric single-photon generation is a key technology for quantum-optical applications. Here we report on the development and commissioning of a highly specialized 1010 nm fiber amplifier for such a novel parametric single-photon source.
