Abstract

This paper presents a correlator for constructing the second-order autocorrelation function g(2)(τ), implemented on a field-programmable gate array (FPGA). The device is designed for high-precision recording of time intervals between photons detected from single emitters. The use of an FPGA makes it possible to achieve a time resolution of 185 ps and real-time event processing. Experimental data confirming the achievement of photon antibunching with g(2)(0) < 0.5, characteristic of single quantum emitters, are demonstrated. The device can be used to analyze photon correlations in quantum optics problems and when working with single quantum emitters.
