Invited review article: Single-photon sources and detectors.
We review the current status of single-photon-source and single-photon-detector technologies operating at wavelengths from the ultraviolet to the infrared. We discuss applications of these technologies to quantum communication, a field currently driving much of the development of single-photon sources and detectors.
متن کاملSingle-Photon Sources and Detectors Book: Chapter 1: Introduction
In the beginning there was light. And it was good. Not long thereafter people began to look for a comprehensive understanding of its nature. While the publication record starts off a little spotty, in the fifth century BC the Greek philosopher Empedocles concluded that light consists of rays that emanate from the eye. This point of view was questioned using what today might be characterized as ...

متن کاملSemiconductor optical single-photon detectors
Avalanche Photodiodes (APDs) connected with quenching circuits can be used for single photon detection. This semiconductor photon detector has a better performance than photomultiplier. The principles and applications of APDs are presented. Features, performance of different commercial devices are introduced and compared. Recent research progress based on the improvement of quenching circuits a...
متن کاملHigh-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...
