Abstract
Systems and methods for generating spectrally compressed photons from broadband emitted photon pulses. The system can include an input coupling having a first coupling ratio and an output coupling having a second coupling ratio. The first coupling ratio is configurable and the second coupling ratio is fixed. A cavity can be connected to the input coupling and the output coupling. A controller in electrical communication with the coupling device can be configured to change the first coupling ratio of the input coupling.
