| contents | This work presents a cost-effective method for collecting single photons emitted from single nitrogen-vacancy centers in nanodiamonds. Conventional components of a confocal laser-scanning microscope, such as microscope objectives and the piezo translation stages, are replaced by two affordable Blu-ray optical pickup units. A Hanbury Brown and Twiss setup is used to identify single photon emission. The proposed approach is inexpensive and simple and lowers the entry-level to single photon research for quantum technologies. This enables student lab experiments or demonstration experiments at schools and shows that efficient sources of quantum light can be made from standard components compatible with established industry processes. |
