Photon antibunching in the fluorescence of individual color centers in diamond

Abstract

We observed photon antibunching in the fluorescent light emitted from a single nitrogen-vacancy center in diamond at room temperature. The possibility of generating triggerable single photons with such a solid-state system is discussed.
