Abstract:
We report on the theoretical statistical characterization of a single-photon source based on the stimulated four-wave mixing process inside an optical fiber. We quantify the photon statistics by means of the expectation number of photons generated on the signal and idler waves, 〈Ňs〉 and 〈Ňi〉 respectively, and Mandel's Qs and Qi parameters. The obtained solutions take into account the spontaneous and stimulated Raman contributions for the generation of the idler wave. Results show that the idler wave generated inside the fiber follows a super-Poissonian statistics. Findings also show that the signal wave change their own statistics from a Poissonian to a super-Poissonian, due to the interaction with the pump field and the optical fiber.
