By accurate temperature sensing and direct current(DC) bias voltage compensation, the single-photon detector can work stably in Geiger mode from-40 °C to 35 °C with an almost constant avalanche gain. It provides a solution for single-photon detection at outdoor operation in all-weather conditions.展开更多
