Abstract
Compact and efficient single-photon sources are key components for several future applications, e.g in quantum cryptography, random number generators, and for a future standard of optical brightness. To date, commercial single-photon detectors provide highest sensitivity in the red spectral range and single-photon based technologies such as quantum communication benefit from their low detector dark count rates. Thus, the red spectral range is suited for free space communication or via polymer optical fibers in last mile networks.
