Comprehensive Characterization of InGaAs/InP Avalanche Photodiodes at 1550 nm with an Active Quenching ASIC
Jun Zhang, Rob Thew, Jean-Daniel Gautier +2
We present an active quenching application specific integrated circuit (ASIC), for use in conjunction with InGaAs/InP avalanche photodiodes (APDs), for 1550 nm single-photon detect…
Reply to the "Comment on: Testing the speed of 'spooky action at a distance' "
D. Salart, A. Baas, C. Branciard +2
This is the reply to the comment arXiv:0810.4452 by Kofler, Ursin, Brukner, and Zeilinger.
High speed coherent one-way quantum key distribution prototype
Damien Stucki, Claudio Barreiro, Sylvain Fasel +8
We report the first real world implementation of a Quantum Key Distribution (QKD) system over a 43dB-loss transmission line in the Swisscom fibre optic network. The QKD system is c…
Tunable Up-Conversion Photon Detector
R. T. Thew, H. Zbinden, N. Gisin
We introduce a simple approach for a tunable up-conversion detector. This scheme is relevant for both single photon detection or anywhere where low light levels at telecom waveleng…
Space-like Separation in a Bell Test assuming Gravitationally Induced Collapses
D. Salart, A. Baas, J. A. W. van Houwelingen +2
We report on a Bell experiment with space-like separation assuming that the measurement time is related to gravity-induced state reduction. Two energy-time entangled photons are se…
High resolution optical time domain reflectometer based on 1.55um up-conversion photon-counting module
Matthieu Legre, Rob Thew, Hugo Zbinden +1
We implement a photon-counting Optical Time Domain Reflectometer (OTDR) at 1.55um which exhibits a high 2-point resolution and a high accuracy. It is based on a low temporal-jitter…
Free-running InGaAs/InP Avalanche Photodiode with Active Quenching for Single Photon Counting at Telecom Wavelengths
R. T. Thew, D. Stucki, J-D. Gautier +2
We present an InGaAs/InP avalanche photodiode with an active quenching circuit on an ASIC (application specific integrated circuit) that is capable of operating in both gated and f…
