  • single photon source for quantum information based on single dye molecule fluorescence in liquid crystal host
    Molecular Crystals and Liquid Crystals, 2006
    Co-Authors: Svetlana G Lukishova, Ansgar W Schmid, A J Mcnamara, Robert W Boyd, C R Stroud, Russell Knox, Patrick Freivald, Kenneth L. Marshall
    Abstract:

    This paper describes a new application for liquid crystals: quantum information technology. A deterministically polarized single-photon source that efficiently produces photons exhibiting antibunching is a pivotal Hardware Element in absolutely secure quantum communication. Planar-aligned nematic liquid crystal hosts deterministically align the single dye molecules which produce deterministically polarized single (antibunched) photons. In addition, 1-D photonic bandgap cholesteric liquid crystals will increase single-photon source efficiency. The experiments and challenges in the observation of deterministically polarized fluorescence from single dye molecules in planar-aligned glassy nematic-liquid-crystal oligomer as well as photon antibunching in glassy cholesteric oligomer are described for the first time.

  • room temperature single photon source single dye molecule fluorescence in liquid crystal host
    IEEE Journal of Selected Topics in Quantum Electronics, 2003
    Co-Authors: Svetlana G Lukishova, Ansgar W Schmid, A J Mcnamara, Robert W Boyd, C R Stroud
    Abstract:

    We report on new approaches toward an implementation of an efficient, room temperature, deterministically polarized, single-photon source (SPS) on demand-a key Hardware Element for quantum information and quantum communication. Operation of a room temperature SPS is demonstrated via photon antibunching in the fluorescence from single terrylene-dye molecules embedded in a cholesteric liquid crystal host. Using oxygen-depleted liquid crystal hosts, dye-bleaching was avoided over the course of more than 1 h of continuous 532-nm excitation. Liquid crystal hosts (including liquid crystal oligomers/polymers) permit further increase of the efficiency of the source: 1) by aligning the dye molecules along a direction preferable for maximum excitation efficiency; 2) by tuning a one-dimensional (1-D) photonic-band-gap microcavity of planar-aligned cholesteric (chiral nematic) liquid crystal layer to the dye fluorescence band.
