Abstract

Correlation measurements are one of the fundamental ways to understand the photon statistics/distribution for a source of light. It is also an important method to confirm single photon sources by confirming the anitbunching nature. This project developed a correlation measurement system, utilized field programmable gate arrays, and non-linear crystals for processes like second harmonic generation and down conversion.
