Abstract
It is shown that strong enhancement of native optical nonlinearities in photonic resonators made of ordinary nonlinear materials can lead to single-photon emission via photon blockade of a resonant driving laser. A theoretical characterization is given by means of the second-order correlation function as the main figure of merit, where major sources of loss are fully taken into account within a standard master equation treatment.
