Figures of merit for single-photon detectors. The most widely quoted figure of merit for photodetectors is the noise equivalent power (NEP)24, and this has proved useful for optical power ...

A new photon detector called PEACOQ can register the arrival times of individual photons with the best timing resolution to date. Developed by Matthew Shaw and colleagues at NASA’s Jet Propulsion ...

NIST scientists have developed the world's most efficient single photon detector, which is able to count individual particles of light traveling through fiber optic cables with roughly 99 percent ...

NASA is awarding a team of researchers from RIT and Dartmouth College a grant to develop a detector capable of sensing and counting single photons that could be crucial to future NASA astrophysics ...

The special add-ons increased the detector’s absorption efficiency from 20% – the previous best for previous single-photon detectors – to 57% at the wavelength used for broadband signal ...

This allows improved performance of a single photon detector while using the same avalanche photodiode (J. Phys. D: Appl. Phys. 40 6922). The team has demonstrated that at telecom wavelengths the ...

The id210 is the first commercially available single-photon InGaAs APD detector for telecom wavelengths that works at frequencies up to 100MHz.. Distributed in the UK and Ireland by Photonic Solutions ...

Improved Single Photon Detector will enables long distance space communication with 100 times better sensitivity. April 7, 2017 February 23, ... The NIST/JPL array-on-a-chip easily identifies the ...

The detector leverages Quanta Image Sensor (QIS) technology, which represents a new way to collect images in a camera. The QIS measures every photon, or individual particle of light, that strikes ...
