Abstract

Heralded single photon sources (HSPSs) 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 photodetectors and an oscilloscope.
