Our setup reaches conversion efficiency of .., for peak power of ?. For $r > 1.5$, conversion deviates from the expected sinusoidal model because higher order frequency conversion start taking place. In figure \ref{fig:vs_power}b) we show the measurement taken using the DCM to spectrally separate the fields, showing the evolution of the second order signal $\omega_{sII} = \omega_s - \Delta\omega$ and idler $\omega_{iII} = \omega_i + \Delta\omega$.  We tune the single photon source and filtering to emit an heralded photon at $λ_s$ into the BS setup: we choose an heralding rate of about 200 KHz for a detected pair rate of ~6000 #/s. Pumps can indeed be triggered to be generated on the event of a heralded photons, but the conversion efficiency is technically limited by the amplitude fluctuations introduced by the EDFA due to the random time between pulse generation. In this condition, the best conversion obtained is ??.  To overcome this limitation, we let the system run independently in condition similar to the classical measurement, and we record the three-fold coincidences between signal, herald and pump: in this condition the detected pair rate is ~20 pairs/s in a 0.8-nanosecond window. We show the results figure ?, where we observe a conversion efficiencyof. show the results  of the measurement. ?.  In figure 6 we observe the detected trace on the APD for increasing pump power. To obtain this curve, signal and idler are separated in the free-space setup and each one filtered with a 0.5 nm filter (signal 3 dB losses, idler 6 dB). We show the conversion curve in figure   Fig. 7. \label{fig:vs_power} Conversion efficiency
