Multiphoton discrimination at telecom wavelength with charge integration photon detector
نویسندگان
چکیده
We present a charge integration photon detector (CIPD) that enables the efficient measurement of photon number states at the telecom-fiber wavelengths with a quantum efficiency of 80% and a resolution less than 0.5 electrons at 1 Hz sampling. The CIPD consists of an InGaAs PIN photodiode and a GaAs JFET in a charge integration amplifier, which is cooled to 4.2 K to reduce thermal noise and leakage current. The charge integration amplifier exhibits a low noise level of 470 nV/Hz. The dark count is as low as 500 electrons/hour.

Quantum detector tomography of a time-multiplexed superconducting nanowire single-photon detector at telecom wavelengths.
Superconducting nanowire single-photon detectors (SNSPDs) are widely used in telecom wavelength optical quantum information science applications. Quantum detector tomography allows the positive-operator-valued measure (POVM) of a single-photon detector to be determined. We use an all-fiber telecom wavelength detector tomography test bed to measure detector characteristics with respect to photon...
متن کاملInvestigation on cellular uptake of gold nanoparticles by multiphoton laser scanning microscopy
Multiphoton absorption induced luminescence (MAIL), as a nonlinear optical feature of noble metallic nanoparticles has shown great advantages in the in situ detection of gold nanoparticles (AuNPs). Selection of excitation wavelengths to yield high efficient MAIL signal from different sized AuNPs is of great significance, but a systematical study of this aspect is still lacking so far. In this c...
متن کاملScalable multiplexed detector system for high-rate telecom-band single-photon detection.
We present an actively multiplexed photon-counting detection system at telecom wavelengths that overcomes the difficulties of photon-counting at high rates. We find that for gated detectors, the heretofore unconsidered deadtime associated with the detector gate is a critical parameter, that limits the overall scalability of the scheme to just a few detectors. We propose and implement a new sche...
متن کاملMultiphoton-excited luminescence of a lanthanide ion in a protein complex: Tb(3+) bound to transferrin.
The Tb(iii) complex of the iron-transport protein transferrin (Tb(2)-Tfr) exhibits strongly sensitised, sharp line luminescence from f-f states following multiphoton excitation via two tyrosinate residues directly co-ordinated to the lanthanide ion. Using an ultrafast Ti:sapphire laser system, a quadratic dependence of the Tb(iii) luminescence intensity was observed on excitation with photons a...
متن کاملQuantum detector tomography of a single-photon frequency upconversion detection system.
We experimentally presented a full quantum detector tomography of a synchronously pumped infrared single-photon frequency upconversion detector. A maximum detection efficiency of 37.6% was achieved at the telecom wavelength of 1558 nm with a background noise about 1.0 × 10-3 counts/pulse. The corresponding internal quantum conversion efficiency reached as high as 84.4%. The detector ...
