| 20130056704 | SINGLE-PHOTON GENERATOR AND METHOD OF ENHANCEMENT OF BROADBAND SINGLE-PHOTON EMISSION - A single-photon generator contains nitrogen-vacancies or other color centers in diamond as emitters of single photons which are excited by the laser beam or another optical source and can work stably under normal conditions, the metamaterial with hyperbolic dispersion as enhancing environment, and photonic guiding structure to collect and transmit single photons further. Single photons generators are fundamental elements for quantum information technologies such as quantum cryptography, quantum information storage and optical quantum computing | 03-07-2013 |
