Abstract

In a Gaussian laser beam pumped single-photon frequency up-conversion system, the spatial distribution of the conversion efficiency is calculated, which strongly depends on the intensity distribution of the pump beam and leads to a spatial modulation of the output single photons. As a result, by simply varying the Gaussian pump beam intensity and the beam size, the converted photons could be modulated spatially and exhibit a programmable distribution. This will be meaningful for the researches on quantum communication and quantum manipulation based on frequency up-conversion system.
