Complete single-photon counting and timing module in a microchip.
A complete module for single-photon counting and timing is demonstrated in a single chip. Features comparable with or better than commercially available macroscopic modules are obtained by integration of an active-quenching and active-reset circuit in complementary metal-oxide semiconductor technology together with a single-photon avalanche diode (SPAD). The integrated SPAD has a 12-microm-diam...
متن کاملPseudo-random single photon counting: a high-speed implementation
Pseudo-random single photon counting (PRSPC) is a new time-resolved optical measurement method which combines the spread spectrum time-resolved method with single photon counting. A pseudo-random bit sequence is used to modulate a continuous wave laser diode, while single photon counting is used to build up the optical signal in response to the modulated excitation. Periodic cross-correlation i...
متن کاملSingle-photon counting
High-sensitivity detectors that are able to generate an electrical signal when struck by a single photon have two main applications. The first is for tasks involving very low light levels, such as fluorescence microscopy for biological imaging, free-space optical communications or laser ranging. The second is for singlephoton counters in quantum optics, which must often capture individual photo...
متن کاملDesign and Implementation of a Compact Super-Wideband Printed Antipodal Antenna Using Fractal Elements
A compact printed fractal antipodal bow-tie antenna is designed and implemented to simultaneously cover the operations in the C, X, and Ku-bands. It is demonstrated that by addition of small fractal elements at the sides of hexagonal arms of the bow-tie, a wide operating frequency range of 3.3 to 19.1 GHz can be covered while antenna size is only 30×34×1.2 mm3. In order to match the antenna to ...
متن کاملMid-infrared single-photon counting.
We report a procedure to detect mid-infrared single photons at 4.65 microm by means of a two-stage scheme based on sum-frequency generation, by using a periodically poled lithium niobate nonlinear crystal and a silicon avalanche photodiode. An experimental investigation shows that, in addition to a high timing resolution, this technique yields a detection sensitivity of 1.24 pW with 63 mW of ne...
