The review discusses various ways to create single-photon sources (SPS). The task of generating single photons can be solved in various ways, and at the moment there is no one among them that would be significantly preferable. An extensive list of literature makes it possible to analyze the prospects for the development of single-photon sources.

В обзоре рассмотрены различные способы создания однофотонных источников (ИОФ). Задача генерации одиночных фотонов может решаться разными способами, и на текущий момент среди них нет такого, который был бы существенно предпочтителен. Обширный список литературы дает возможность провести анализ перспектив развития источников одиночных фотонов.
