Embodiment 11
[0029] The schematic diagram for realizing this embodiment is shown in FIG. 2 , the wavelength of the pulsed infrared single-photon light source is 1.06 μm, and the signal light is input through an optical fiber. Its polarization is controlled by a fiber polarization controller, so as to control the polarization direction of the signal light incident on the nonlinear crystal to achieve good phase matching conditions. The pump light source is an erbium-doped passively mode-locked fiber laser, which outputs pulsed light with a center wavelength of 1.55 μm and a bandwidth of 20 nm through the fiber, and its polarization is controlled by a fiber polarization controller to achieve a good phase in the nonlinear crystal matching conditions. The pulsed pump light has a high repetition rate (typically 80 MHz) and high peak power (typically 10 3 watt). The signal light and the pump light have the same repetition frequency, and are controlled by a synchronous controller S to make the t...

[0031] Compared with Example 1.1, the incident single-photon signal in this example is in the 1.31 μm band, and the corresponding converted signal is in the 0.71 μm band. The coatings on both surfaces of the nonlinear crystal involved in scheme 1.1 are adjusted to anti-reflection coatings in the bands of pump light 1.55 μm, incident signal light 1.31 μm, and outgoing signal light 0.71 μm. The phase matching condition of the nonlinear crystal is also adjusted to the sum frequency of 1.31 μm and 1.55 μm to obtain an output of 0.71 μm. Other components, implementation methods and steps are consistent with those in Embodiment 1.1.

[0033] As shown in FIG. 3 , the incident single photon signal in this embodiment is at 1.06 μm and is continuous light. The pump source is a continuous erbium-doped fiber laser. Compared with scheme 1.1, no synchronous controller is needed in this embodiment. Other components, implementation methods and steps are consistent with those in Embodiment 1.1.
