Experimental 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 کاملAn 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 کاملLarge area avalanche photodiode detector array upgrade for a ruby-laser Thomson scattering system
A low-cost upgrade has been implemented on the Madison Symmetric Torus ~MST! ruby-laser Thomson scattering ~TS! system to increase spectral coverage and substantially improve the signal-to-noise ratio ~SNR!. The spectral resolution has been increased from five channels on the long-wavelength side to an 11-channel system, which covers both sides of the laser line. Coverage on both sides of the s...
متن کاملA liquid-helium cooled large-area silicon PIN photodiode x-ray detector
An x-ray detector using a liquid-helium cooled large-area silicon PIN photodiode has been developed along with a tailor-made charge sensitive preamplifier whose firststage JFET has been cooled. The operating temperature of the JFET has been varied separately and optimized. The xand γ-ray energy spectra for an Am source have been measured with the photodiode operated at 13 K. An energy resolutio...
متن کاملProperties of a PIN photodiode as a neutron detector
The properties as a neutron detector of a silicon photodiode of type Hamamatsu S3590-02 in conjunction with a multi-channel analyser Alphatron-3C were investigated in an Am-Be calibration field at the department of nuclear engineering at the University of Madrid. Since the photodiode is sensitive to charged particles, we covered it with two types of converters to enable its response to thermal ...
