Generation of Heralded Twin-Photons in a Series-Coupled Mesoscopic Light-Emitting Diode System

A two-coupled mesoscopic single-junction light-emitting diode (LED) system is proposed to generate heralded twin-photons with a strong positive correlation, which have different energies. Monte-Carlo simulations demonstrate that the two photons are generated per modulation cycle with a regulated tim...

Summary:A two-coupled mesoscopic single-junction light-emitting diode (LED) system is proposed to generate heralded twin-photons with a strong positive correlation, which have different energies. Monte-Carlo simulations demonstrate that the two photons are generated per modulation cycle with a regulated time interval due to the Coulomb blockade and quantum confinement effects, when the two-coupled LED system is driven by an alternating voltage source.
