Evaluating the quantum optical properties of solid-state single-photon emitters is a time-consuming task that typically requires interferometric photon correlation experiments. Photon Fourier spectroscopy (PCFS) one such technique measures time-resolved single-emitter line shapes and offers additional spectral information over Hong–Ou–Mandel two-photon interference but long experimental acquisition times. Here, we demonstrate neural ordinary differential equation model, g2NODE, can forecast complete noise-free interferometry experiment from small subset noisy functions. We this for simulated data, where g2NODE utilizes 10–20 measured functions to create entire denoised interferograms up 200 stage positions, enabling 20-fold speedup in time hours minutes. Our work presents new deep learning approach greatly accelerate use as an characterization tool novel emitter materials.
