IEEE Study Proposes a Novel High-Efficiency Silicon Single-Photon Detector

Silicon single-photon detectors (Si SPDs) with low cost and ease of operation are widely used for detecting single photons in the visible spectrum. However, photon detection efficiency (PDE) is important for effectively collecting photons, highlighting the need for high-efficiency detectors. Now, researchers have developed a novel Si SPD that reaches 84.4% PDE at 785 nm. It provides a practical solution for quantum communication and imaging applications that rely on detecting weak light signals.

Silicon single-photon detectors (Si SPDs) play a central role in quantum photonics and single-photon imaging for detecting single photons in the visible spectrum. … Read More → "IEEE Study Proposes a Novel High-Efficiency Silicon Single-Photon Detector"
