摘要

Single-photon signals at 1.56 μ were converted into the visible region by sum-frequency generation, with synchronous pump pulses at 1.03 μ in a periodically poled lithium niobate crystal. The signal and pump sources were provided by two synchronized mode-locked fiber lasers at the operation rate of 7.88 MHz. Such a high-speed single-photon upconversion system has shown an overall detection efficiency of 10.4%. The corresponding background noise was measured to be 3.3×10³ s^-1. The noise-equivalent power in this scheme was 9.93×10^-17 W/Hz^1/2, which was the lowest compared to the other upconversion systems with similar pump and signal wavelengths.
