An avalanche-photodiode-based photon-number-resolving detector
Avalanche photodiodes are widely used as practical detectors of single photons. Although conventional devices respond to one or more photons, they cannot resolve the number in the incident pulse or short time interval. However, such photon number resolving detectors are urgently needed for applications in quantum computing, communications and interferometry, as well as for extending the applica...
متن کاملModelling of High Quantum Efficiency Avalanche Photodiode
A model of a low noise high quantum efficiency n+np Germanium Photodiode utilizing ion implantation technique and subsequent drive-in diffusion in the n layer is presented. Numerical analysis is used to study the influence of junction depth and bulk concentration on the electric field profile and quantum efficiency. The performance of the device is theoretically treated especially at the wave-l...
متن کاملExperimental multi-photon-resolving detector using a single avalanche photodiode
There is an increasing need for identifying the number of photons that is contained within a weak light pulse or time interval of a weak cw light field. A device capable of photon-number resolution would contribute both to fundamental research in the area of quantum optics and to more-or-less practical quantum communication systems, such as quantum key distribution schemes [1]. In the former ca...
متن کاملAvalanche photodiode based detector for beam emission spectroscopy.
An avalanche photodiode based (APD) detector for the visible wavelength range was developed for low light level, high frequency beam emission spectroscopy (BES) experiments in fusion plasmas. This solid state detector has higher quantum efficiency than photomultiplier tubes, and unlike normal photodiodes, it has internal gain. This paper describes the developed detector as well as the noise mod...
متن کاملImproved Optical Communications Performance Using Adaptive Optics with an Avalanche Photodiode Detector
We present predicted and experimentally measured gains in communications performance of a laboratory-based, free-space optical communications system through the use of adaptive optics (AO). A commercially available avalanche photodiode detector (APD) is used in the receiver for signal detection. Background noise and atmospheric turbulence field conditions were simulated in the laboratory using ...
