Performance of single-photon-counting PILATUS detector modules

PILATUS is a silicon hybrid pixel detector system, operating in single-photon-counting mode, that has been developed at the Paul Scherrer Institut for the needs of macromolecular crystallography at the Swiss Light Source (SLS). A calibrated PILATUS module has been characterized with monochromatic synchrotron radiation. The influence of charge sharing on the count rate and the overall energy res...

Photon -counting Reticontm Detector

For applications in faint -object spectroscopy at the Mt. Hopkins Observatory, a photon counting detector has been built using a dual 936 Reticon diode array fibre -optically coupled to a high -gain image intensifier package. The electronic signal processing follows closely the design of Shectman; the diode array is scanned every millisecond, each frame is subtracted from the previous to minimi...

Improved photon-counting detector performance by intelligent management of detector deadtime

We discuss the difficulties of photon-counting at extremely high rates and introduce a scheme for a photon-counting detection system that addresses these difficulties. The method uses an array of N detectors and a 1-by-N optical switch with a control circuit to direct input light to live detectors. We compare performance of our system to other, passive detection systems and show that our detect...

Single-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...

1.25-Gbit/s photon-counting optical communications using a two- element superconducting nanowire single photon detector

The sensitivity of a high-rate photon-counting optical communications link depends on the performance of the photon counter used to detect the optical signal. In this paper, we focus on ways to reduce the effect of blocking, which is loss due to time periods in which the photon counter is inactive following a preceding detection event. This blocking loss can be reduced by using an array of phot...
