In this experiment, the frequency down-conversion through the four-wave mixing process in a cold 85Rb atomic ensemble was investigated. The results showed that the frequency-conversion efficiency can reach up to 32% with an improvement in the optical depth. It was also found that the efficiency may exceed 32% when the signal-to-noise ratio of the detected telecom field is higher than 10 and the mean signal count is larger than 0.2. This work can be combined with quantum memories based on cold 85Rb ensemble to serve for long-distance quantum networks.
We experimentally investigate the frequency down-conversion through the four-wave mixing (FWM) process in a cold 85Rb atomic ensemble, with a diamond-level configuration. An atomic cloud with a high optical depth (OD) of 190 is prepared to achieve a high efficiency frequency conversion. Here, we convert a signal pulse field (795 nm) attenuated to a single-photon level, into a telecom light at 1529.3 nm within near C-band range and the frequency-conversion efficiency can reach up to 32%. We find that the OD is an essential factor affecting conversion efficiency and the efficiency may exceed 32% with an improvement in the OD. Moreover, we note the signal-to-noise ratio of the detected telecom field is higher than 10 while the mean signal count is larger than 0.2. Our work may be combined with quantum memories based on cold 85Rb ensemble at 795 nm and serve for long-distance quantum networks.(c) 2023 Optica Publishing Group under the terms of the Optica Open Access Publishing Agreement
