Abstract

A unidirectional intracavity pump scheme was demonstrated efficient for tunable quantum information interface capable of transferring quantum bits between photons of different wavelengths. By means of sum frequency generation in a periodically poled lithium niobate crystal placed inside a diode-pumped Nd=GdVO4 laser cavity, single photons at telecom wavelength were upconverted into replicas around 630 nm with preserved quantum features, which could be easily tuned by adjusting the intracavity pump wavelength.
