High-efficiency single-photon detectors.
Visible light photon counters (VLPCs) and solid-state photomultipliers (SSPMs) are high-efficiency single-photon detectors which have multi-photon counting capability. While both the VLPCs and the SSPMs have inferred internal quantum efficiencies above 93%, the actual measured values for both the detectors were in fact limited to less than 88%, attributed to in-coupling losses. We are currently...
متن کاملHigh-speed and high-efficiency travelling wave single-photon detectors embedded in nanophotonic circuits
Ultrafast, high-efficiency single-photon detectors are among the most sought-after elements in modern quantum optics and quantum communication. However, imperfect modal matching and finite photon absorption rates have usually limited their maximum attainable detection efficiency. Here we demonstrate superconducting nanowire detectors atop nanophotonic waveguides, which enable a drastic increase...
متن کاملHigh Accuracy Calibration of Photon-Counting Detectors
We discuss a practical implementation of a photon-counting detector calibration using correlated photon pairs produced by parametric down-conversion. In this calibration scheme, the detection of a first photon triggers the measurement sequence aimed at detection of a second photon by a detector under test (DUT). We also describe measurements of radiant power with a photon-counting detector, whi...

متن کاملHigh Speed Implementation of Signal Space Detectors
In this paper, we generalize the concept of signal space detection to construct a xed delay tree search (FDTS) detector which estimates a block of n channel symbols at a time. This technique is useful for high speed implementation. Two approaches are discussed both of which are based on signal space partitioning. In the rst approach, symbol detection is performed based on a multi-class partitio...
