We propose a setup for a heralded, i.e. announced generation of a puresingle-photon state given two imperfect sources whose outputs are representedby mixtures of the single-photon Fock state $\ket{1}$ with the vacuum$\ket{0}$. Our purification scheme uses beam splitters, photodetection and atwo-photon-absorbing medium. The admixture of the vacuum is fully eliminated.We discuss two potential realizations of the scheme.
