Temporal modulation of a spectral compressor for efficient quantum storage

preprint2022arXivOpen access

Abstract

Spectral and temporal mode matching are required for the efficient interaction of photons and quantum memories. In our previous work, we proposed a new route to spectrally compress broadband photons to achieve spectral mode matching with narrowband memories, using a linear, time-variant optical cavity based on rapid switching of input coupling. In this work, we extend our approach to attain temporal mode matching as well by exploiting the time-variation of output coupling of the cavity. We numerically analyze the mode matching and loss performance of our time-varying cavity and present a possible implementation in integrated photonics.
