We describe a system for long-distance distribution of quantum entanglement, in which coherent light with large average photon number interacts dispersively with single, far-detuned atoms or semiconductor impurities in optical cavities. Entanglement is heralded by homodyne detection using a second bright light pulse for phase reference. The use of bright pulses leads to a high success probability for the generation of entanglement, at the cost of a lower initial fidelity. This fidelity may be boosted by entanglement purification techniques, implemented with the same physical resources. The need for more purification steps is well compensated for by the increased probability of success when compared to heralded entanglement schemes using single photons or weak coherent pulses with realistic detectors. The principle cause of the lower initial fidelity is fiber loss; however, spontaneous decay and cavity losses during the dispersive atom/cavity interactions can also impair performance. We show that these effects may be minimized for emitter-cavity systems in the weak-coupling regime as long as the resonant Purcell factor is larger than one, the cavity is over-coupled, and the optical pulses are sufficiently long. We support this claim with numerical, semiclassical calculations using parameters for three realistic systems: optically bright donor-bound impurities such as 19-F:ZnSe with a moderate-Q microcavity, the optically dim 31-P:Si system with a high-Q microcavity, and trapped ions in large but very high-Q cavities.
