Approaches to Single Photon Detection
arXiv:0807.2320 · doi:10.1016/j.nima.2009.05.031
Abstract
We present recent results on our development of single photon detectors, including: gated and free-running InGaAs/InP avalanche photodiodes; hybrid detection systems based on sum-frequency generation and Si APDs; and SSPDs (superconducting single photon detectors), for telecom wavelengths; as well as SiPM (Silicon photomultiplier) detectors operating in the visible regime.
