Abstract
We experimentally demonstrate efficient reduction of heralded telecom single-photon spectral bandwidth by a factor exceeding 220, from 130 GHz to below 550 MHz. The transformation is achieved in an all-fiber setup using dispersive stretching and complex electro-optic phase modulation. The approach is deterministic and results in a 27-fold increase in photon detection probability at the target wavelength. Combined with system transmission of 40% the interface enables increasing the single-photon flux into a spectrally narrowband absorber by a factor of 11. Our approach may enable efficient interfacing matter-based quantum systems with high-rate quantum communication channels and pulsed entangled photon pair sources.
