Buying Single-photon Sources
Single-photon sources emit individual photons with high probability when triggered, essential for quantum optics experiments. They are crucial in applications such as quantum cryptography, where secure communication relies on the detection of single photons to encode and transmit information.

![]() 43 Sparta Avenue Newton, NJ 07860 United States | ![]() When used as a Heralded single-photon source, Thorlabs’ correlated photon-pair sources act as high brightness sources of individual photons, which are a critical component for quantum photonics applications. Driven by an integrated pump laser, these turn-key solutions rely on spontaneous parametric down conversion (SPDC) to create correlated photon pairs at 810 nm. Two options are available, providing either narrow (0.25 nm), tunable bandwidth or higher heralding ratio and photon rate. Quantum photonics educational kits are also available. |
