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 کامل1.5- mum single photon counting using polarization-independent up-conversion detector.
We report a 1.5- mum band polarization independent single photon detector based on frequency up-conversion in periodically poled lithium niobate (PPLN) waveguides. To overcome the polarization dependence of the PPLN waveguides, we employed a polarization diversity configuration composed of two up-conversion detectors connected with a polarization beam splitter. We experimentally confirmed polar...
متن کاملSingle Photon Detection Using Frequency Up-Conversion with Pulse Pumping
In any quantum communication system, such as a quantum key distribution (QKD) system, data rates are mainly limited by the system clock rate and the various link losses. While the transmission clock rate is limited by the temporal resolution of the single-photon detectors, losses in a fiber-based quantum communication system can be minimized by operating in the near infrared range (NIR), at 131...
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 کاملExperimental 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...
