Observing sub-Poissonian statistics of twisted single photons using oscilloscope

Abstract

Heralded single photon sources (HSPS) from spontaneous parametric down-conversion are widely used as single photon sources. We study the photon number statistics of an HSPS carrying orbital angular momentum in our laboratory and observe the sub-Poissonian statistics using only photo detectors and an oscilloscope.
