How Single-Photon Counting Enables Countless Applications
Photonics Spectra
Looking to the future, single-photon detection will enable new applications: increasing LiDAR range while ensuring the laser source remains safe for people’s eyes in autonomous vehicles; secure communications, by detecting the single photons used for 1s and 0s in Quantum Key Distribution (QKD) and by detecting entangled photons and calibrating the single-photon generators needed; in quantum computing, both by detecting the single photons used to generate or interrogate qubits; and many more.
The Evolution of Single-photon Detection
Laser Focus World
Single-photon detection has become a vital tool in many applications, from single-molecule fluorescence, particle characterization through scattering, and quantum cryptography to astronomy, lidar, and more. The concept appears to be simple in principle—one photon creates one electron in a photodiode or when hitting a metal surface—but how easy is it to detect that single electron?
The Single-Source Partner for Photonic Solutions
Semiconductor Review
As the silicon chips that power today’s devices and technologies continue to shrink in size, manufacturing processes increasingly necessitate higher-resolution illumination and imaging, better performance, and strict contamination control.
