Abstract: A device for generating individual photons with energy E includes quantum emitters, having at least one determined transition with the energy E from an energy level N* to a lower energy level N1. The emitters are near a propagation path running from first to second regions. The device also includes at least one light source to output light, for propagation along the path. The light has the energy E for resonant excitation of the energy level N*. The emitters are arranged so that optionally exactly Z emitters are illuminated, forming an optical thickness ?>0 for the light along the path. The number Z lies in a range of Z0±10% and Z0 is a number at which a maximum destructive interference in the second region occurs between a two-photon component of the light scattered on the ZO emitters and a two-photon component of the non-scattered light.
