High Accuracy Calibration of Photon-Counting Detectors

October 25, 2006
Author(s)
Sergey V. Polyakov, Michael Ware, Alan L. Migdall
We discuss a practical implementation of a photon-counting detector calibration using correlated photon pairs produced by parametric down-conversion. In this calibration scheme, the detection of a first photon triggers the measurement sequence aimed at

Achieving Higher Photon Counting Rates Using Multiplexed Detectors

August 13, 2006
Author(s)
Stefania Castelletto, Ivo P. Degiovanni, Alan L. Migdall, Sergey Polyakov, V Schettini
As the quantum information field advances, the need for improved single-photon devices is becoming more critical. Quantum information systems are often limited by detector deadtime to count rates of a few MHz, at best. We present a multiplexed detection
