An anti-bunched photon field is produced from a thin-film ppln waveguide by mixing the on-chip two-photon state with a weak but matched coherent state. This is achieved by taking out the two-photon part of the coherent state via a destructive two-photon interference with the on-chip two-photon state. We achieve a photon rate of 100 kHz with a g2-value of 0.35. This anti-bunched light field will have applications in high-resolution quantum imaging such as long baseline quantum telescopy for enhancing the signal-to-noise ratio.
