Title: Frequency conversion in a hydrogen-filled hollow-core fiber: power scaling, background, and bandwidth
Authors: Anica Hamer, Frank Vewinger, Michael H. Frosz, Simon Stellmer,
Abstract summary: Large-area quantum networks based on optical fibers allow photons at near-infrared wavelengths to travel with minimal loss. Quantum frequency conversion is a method to alter the wavelength of a single photon while maintaining its quantum state. Most commonly, nonlinear crystals are employed for this conversion process, where near-unity conversion efficiency at high fidelity has been demonstrated.

Abstract: Large-area quantum networks based on optical fibers allow photons at near-infrared wavelengths to travel with minimal loss. Quantum frequency conversion is a method to alter the wavelength of a single photon while maintaining its quantum state. Most commonly, nonlinear crystals are employed for this conversion process, where near-unity conversion efficiency at high fidelity has been demonstrated. Still, the crystal-based conversion process is plagued by strong background noise, very limited spectral bandwidth, and inhomogeneous temperature profiles at strong pump fields. In previous work, we have demonstrated frequency conversion in hydrogen-filled hollow-core fibers and claimed that this conversion process does not compromise performance at strong pump fields, is essentially free of background noise, and intrinsically broadband. Here, we demonstrate that these three claims are justified.

We report on a novel approach of frequency conversion to the telecom band. This interaction is based on coherent Stokes Raman scattering (CSRS), a four-wave mixing process resonantly enhanced in a dense molecular hydrogen gas. We show the conversion of photons from SI863nanometer to the telecom O-Band and demonstrate that the input polarization state is preserved.

Nitrogen-vacancy centers in diamond are a leading candidate to form the nodes of a quantum network. We demonstrate a new platform for efficient low-noise quantum frequency conversion based on a monolithic bulk ppKTP cavity. By resonantly enhancing the power of an off-the-shelf pump laser, we achieve an internal conversion efficiency of $(72.3pm 0.4)%$ while generating only $(110pm 4) mbox kHz/nm$ noise at the target wavelength.
