Abstract :
We demonstrate a symmetric, single-spatial mode, single-photon heralding efficiency of 84% for a type-II spontaneous parametric downconversion process. High efficiency, single-spatial mode collection is key to enabling many quantum information processing and quantum metrology applications.
