The detection of light at the single-photon ... enough detector can 'see' when a gate in a microprocessor switches, because the act of switching causes it to emit a few infrared photons.

Seth Lloyd from Massachusetts Institute of Technology has now demonstrated that it can also be used for enhancing the sensitivity of photon counting. The percentage of light reflected from an ...

One notable type is the superconducting nanowire single-photon detector (SNSPD). SNSPDs utilize ultra-thin superconducting wires that quickly transition from a superconducting state to a resistive ...

The photon-counting detectors developed by ... "We have developed a method that compensates for these detector distortions by calibrating the detector using known materials," Das says.

By using label-free infrared imaging ... Using NCam, a novel single-photon detector, researchers demonstrated non-degenerate QGI with unprecedented sensitivity and contrast, obtaining images ...

This breakthrough is the result of a $1.5 million project funded by the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency’s (DARPA) Extreme Photon ... infrared detection. As a result, the detector ...

An on-chip photon-counting reconstructive spectrometer with tailored cascaded detector array Mar 28, 2024 Measuring the properties of light: Scientists realize new method for determining quantum ...
