Query: Performance of a temporally multiplexed single-photon source with
  imperfect devices   Scalable photonic quantum technologies require highly efficient sources of
single photons on demand. Although much progress has been done in the field
within the last decade, the requirements impose stringent conditions on the
efficiency of such devices. One of the most promising approaches is to
multiplex a single or several heralded photon sources into temporal modes. In
this work we analyze a specific proposal to synchronize photons from a
continuous source with an external reference clock using imperfect optical
switches, which necessarily degrade the ideal behavior of the devised
arrangement. The performance of the source as a sub-poissonian light emitter is
studied taking into account losses in the multiplexing arrangement, detector
efficiency and dark counts. We estimate a fivefold increase in the single
photon probability achieved for 0.5 dB loss switches.
