AI Article Synopsis
- Spectral compression is essential for effectively connecting broad-spectrum light with narrowband quantum memories, which is vital for advancements in quantum information and networking.
- The proposed method involves using a time-varying linear optical cavity that focuses on quickly adjusting the coupling into the cavity, instead of changing the intracavity phase as seen in previous studies.
- The research evaluates the effectiveness of spectral compression based on factors like mirror reflectivity, cavity loss, and switching speed, and explores the potential for its application in integrated photonic systems.
Article Abstract
Spectral compression will be needed for efficient interfacing of broadband photons with narrowband quantum memories for applications in quantum information and networking. In this Letter, we propose spectral compression via a time-varying, linear optical cavity. Unlike other recent works on time-varying cavities based on modulation of the intracavity phase, our spectral compression concept is based on rapid switching of coupling into the cavity. We analyze spectral compression performance metrics as a function of mirror reflectivity, cavity loss, and switching speed and discuss potential implementation in integrated photonics.
