Gated-mode technique based on the experimental data for detection of single photon is analyzed at communication wavelengths so that the basic operation parameters can decide properly for efficient detection of single photon. The bias voltage has related to the punch-through voltage in combining the cooling technique with synchronization to decrease the dark counts.展开更多

文摘Based on the commercially available avalanche photodiodes, the basic needs of gated-mode operation for single photon are discussed. Gated-mode technique based on the experimental data for detection of single photon is analyzed at communication wavelengths so that the basic operation parameters can decide properly for efficient detection of single photon.
