Fig. 4: Temporal multimode capacity.

a Concept of the temporal multimode capacity analysis. The storage time is set to 1/Δ = 25 μs, with each mode having a duration of Tm = 20 ns. b Total number of coincidence detections (blue circles) and second-order cross-correlation (red squares), as a function of the number of analyzed modes. The \({g}_{si}^{(2)}\) value is calculated by integrating over the entire mode Tm, which reduces it to about half of the peak value reported in Fig. 2 for 25 μs.
