Approaches to Single Photon Detection (0807.2320v1)
Published 15 Jul 2008 in quant-ph
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.
