Abstract

Abstract

En 中文
Practical implementations of quantum information networks require frequency conversion of individual photons. Approaches based on a molecular gas as the nonlinear medium cover a wide range of the optical spectrum and promise high efficiency at negligible background. We present polarization-preserving frequency conversion in a hydrogen-loaded hollow-core fiber using continuous-wave pump fields. We demonstrate conversion efficiency at the level of a few per mille, discuss various limitations and loss mechanisms, and present a route to increase conversion efficiency to near unity.
