Up-conversion single-photon detector using multi-wavelength sampling techniques.
The maximum achievable data-rate of a quantum communication system can be critically limited by the efficiency and temporal resolution of the system's single-photon detectors. Frequency up-conversion technology can be used to increase detection efficiency for IR photons. In this paper we describe a scheme to improve the temporal resolution of an up-conversion single-photon detector using multi-...
متن کاملEfficient adiabatic wavelength conversion in Gires-Tournois resonators.
We compare theoretically the performance capabilities of Fabry-Perot and Gires-Tournois resonators when used for adiabatic wavelength conversion. It is shown that the Gires-Tournois device will exhibit superior performance and is able to convert the wavelength of optical pulses with >74% efficiency while nearly preserving their temporal duration.
متن کاملActive Optical Isolator Using Adiabatic Wavelength Conversion in Microcavities
We present an integrated optical isolator based on adiabatic wavelength conversion in microcavities. The isolator uses a time-division sampling method to ensure complete isolation of optical pulses with an extinction of 24 dB. ©2009 Optical Society of America OCIS codes: (130.3120) Integrated optics devices; (230.3240) Isolators.
متن کاملNew Results on Single-Photon Up-Conversion
The process of up-conversion is shown to enable superior single-photon detectors in the infrared, compared to InGaAs and germanium Avalanche Photodiodes (APDs) (normally used for IR single photon detection). After up-converting an infrared photon to a visible one in a non-linear crystal–Periodically Poled Lithium Niobate (PPLN)–we use a silicon APD to efficiently detect the frequency up-shifted...
متن کاملNanoantenna enhancement for telecom-wavelength superconducting single photon detectors.
Superconducting nanowire single photon detectors are rapidly emerging as a key infrared photon-counting technology. Two front-side-coupled silver dipole nanoantennas, simulated to have resonances at 1480 and 1525 nm, were fabricated in a two-step process. An enhancement of 50 to 130% in the system detection efficiency was observed when illuminating the antennas. This offers a pathway to increas...
