Patent ID: 6868103

Claim:
Opto-electronic component capable of emitting light pulses containing a single photon, opto-electronic comprising: a resonant optics cavity ( 100 ) and a group of photon emitters ( 250 ) placed in this optical cavity ( 100 ), a single one of these emitters ( 250 ) having an emission frequency equal to approximately the resonant frequency (M) of the cavity ( 100 ), wherein all emitters have a spectral distribution with a concentration of frequencies of emitters ( 250 ) at a given frequency (P), and wherein the cavity ( 100 ) is made so that its resonant frequency (M) is sufficiently different from this concentration frequency (P) so that the number of emitters ( 250 ) with an emission frequency corresponding to the resonant frequency (M) of the cavity ( 100 ) is close to one.
