I'm adding this info here just so I can look up the reference easily since I seem to need it pretty often. We seem to continually have people having an uproar over the "photon picture" of light [Notice that in all of the complaints, NONE of them have ever done ANY of the experiments they criticize, and that in none of them can they prove that the photon picture FAILS to also account for the effect being displayed].
Anyway, as of now, this is almost the DEFINITIVE reference to single photon sources being created almost ON DEMAND. This is a very comprehensive review of all available single-photon sources so far. I strongly recommend anyone interested to get a copy of this review paper.
B. Lounis and M. Orrit, Rep. Prog. Phys. v. 68, p.1129 (2005).
There is a HUGE difference between reading about an experiment, and DOING it yourself where you can really oberve something. Not only that, you are also able to tweak and modify some parameters and see how such things affect others. There isn't anything more convincing. But then again, I'm bias.
