Wherein, the dentate of the single-photon source in the liquid for carrying single-photon source is hydrophobicity;
Wherein, the laser is used for: being increased the temperature in the resonant cavity, is turned the thermally sensitive polymeric from hydrophily It is changed to hydrophobicity, and attracts the liquid for carrying single-photon source to stay in the resonant cavity, and make to stay in the resonance The liquid of the intracavitary carrying single-photon source issues single photon under the irradiation of the laser, and the single photon is coupled to institute State waveguide internal transmission.
