Improving single-photon sources is critical in advancing the state of the art in photonic quantum technologies for information processing and communications. 410 0$aSpringer Theses, Recognizing Outstanding Ph.D. Research,$x2190-5053 606 $aQuantum optics 606 $aLasers 606 $aPhotonics 606 $aOptical materials 606 $aElectronics$xMaterials 606 $aQuantum Optics$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P24050 606 $aOptics, Lasers, Photonics, Optical Devices$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P31030 606 $aOptical and Electronic Materials$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/Z12000 615 0$aQuantum optics. 615 0$aLasers. 615 0$aPhotonics. 615 0$aOptical materials. 615 0$aElectronics$xMaterials. 615 14$aQuantum Optics. 615 24$aOptics, Lasers, Photonics, Optical Devices. 615 24$aOptical and Electronic Materials. 676 $a006.3843 700 $aFrancis-Jones$b Robert J.A$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0888456 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910254602003321 996 $aActive Multiplexing of Spectrally Engineered Heralded Single Photons in an Integrated Fibre Architecture$91984725 997 $aUNINA
