Gigacount/second photon detection with InGaAs avalanche photodiodes
K. A. Patel, J. F. Dynes, A. W. Sharpe +3
We demonstrate high count rate single photon detection at telecom wavelengths using a thermoelectrically-cooled semiconductor diode. Our device consists of a single InGaAs avalanch…
Probing higher order correlations of the photon field with photon number resolving avalanche photodiodes
J. F. Dynes, Z. L. Yuan, A. W. Sharpe +2
We demonstrate the use of two high speed avalanche photodiodes in exploring higher order photon correlations. By employing the photon number resolving capability of the photodiodes…
Field test of quantum key distribution in the Tokyo QKD Network
M. Sasaki, M. Fujiwara, H. Ishizuka +40
A novel secure communication network with quantum key distribution in a metropolitan area is reported. Different QKD schemes are integrated to demonstrate secure TV conferencing ov…
Efficient photon number detection with silicon avalanche photodiodes
O. Thomas, Z. L. Yuan, J. F. Dynes +2
We demonstrate an efficient photon number detector for visible wavelengths using a silicon avalanche photodiode. Under subnanosecond gating, the device is able to resolve up to fou…
Multi-gigahertz operation of photon counting InGaAs avalanche photodiodes
Z. L. Yuan, A. W. Sharpe, J. F. Dynes +2
We report a 2 GHz operation of InGaAs avalanche photodiodes for efficient single photon detection at telecom wavelengths. Employing a self-differencing circuit that incorporates tu…
An avalanche-photodiode-based photon-number-resolving detector
B. E. Kardynal, Z. L. Yuan, A. J. Shields
Avalanche photodiodes are widely used as practical detectors of single photons.1 Although conventional devices respond to one or more photons, they cannot resolve the number in the…
