Feasibility study towards comparison of the g(2)(0) measurement in the visible range

This work reports on the pilot study, performed by INRIM, NPL and PTB, on the measurement of the g(2)(0) parameter in the visible spectral range of a test single-photon source based on a colour centre in diamond. The development of single-photon sources is of high interest to the metrology community as well as the burgeoning quantum technologies industry. Measurement of the g(2)(0) parameter plays a vital role in characterising and understanding single-photon emission. This comparison has been conducted by each partner individually using their own equipment at INRIM laboratories, which were responsible for the operation of the source.
