X Abstract

We report on the fast excitation of a single atom coupled to an optical cavity using laser pulses that are much shorter than all other relevant processes. This creates a single photon source combining the conceptual simplicity of experiments on free-space atoms with the efficiency and directionality of sources based on cavity quantum electrodynamics. The cavity frequency further constitutes a parameter to design the emitted single-photon wave packets, for example, in a superposition of two tunable frequencies.

CiteULike organises scholarly (or academic) papers or literature and provides bibliographic (which means it makes bibliographies) for universities and higher education establishments. It helps undergraduates and postgraduates. People studying for PhDs or in postdoctoral (postdoc) positions. The service is similar in scope to EndNote or RefWorks or any other reference manager like BibTeX, but it is a social bookmarking service for scientists and humanities researchers.
