Low-noise high-speed InGaAs/InP-based single-photon detector.
A low-noise high-speed InGaAs/InP-based single-photon detector was demonstrated with a double-self-differencing spike signal cancellation technique. A photon-number resolving method was used to analyze the ratio of avalanche signal to background noise. By adding a post-self-differencing circuit to the pre-self-differencing circuit, the signal to noise ratio was improved by 11.0 dB. The typical ...
متن کاملSINGLE-PHOTON DETECTOR MODULE APPLICATION NOTE Single-photon detection with InGaAs/InP avalanche photodiodes
When most people think of detecting single-photons, photomultiplier tubes probably spring to their mind. Indeed, for a long time these were the detectors of choice in ultrasensitive detection and spectroscopy. Today, however other types of detectors allow to reach a single-photon sensitivity. Special semiconductor devices called singlephoton avalanche diodes (SPAD) have been developed, optimise...
متن کاملFully integrated free-running InGaAs/InP single-photon detector for accurate lidar applications.
We present a fully integrated InGaAs/InP negative feedback avalanche diode (NFAD) based free-running single-photon detector (SPD) designed for accurate lidar applications. A free-piston Stirling cooler is used to cool down the NFAD with a large temperature range, and an active hold-off circuit implemented in a field programmable gate array is applied to further suppress the afterpulsing contrib...
متن کاملImproved Circuits with Capacitive Feedback for Readout Resistive Sensor Arrays
One of the most suitable ways of distributing a resistive sensor array for reading is an array with M rows and N columns. This allows reduced wiring and a certain degree of parallelism in the implementation, although it also introduces crosstalk effects. Several types of circuits can carry out the analogue-digital conversion of this type of sensors. This article focuses on the use of operationa...
متن کاملHigh-speed photodiodes for InP-based photonic integrated circuits.
We demonstrate the feasibility of monolithic integration of evanescently coupled Uni-Traveling Carrier Photodiodes (UTC-PDs) having a bandwidth exceeding 100 GHz with Multimode Interference (MMI) couplers. This platform is suitable for active-passive, butt-joint monolithic integration with various Multiple Quantum Well (MQW) devices for narrow linewidth millimeter-wave photomixing sources. The ...
