MgO-doped periodically-poled LiNbO3 waveguide is used to up-convert photons at 1.535-1.568 µm to those at 598-603 nm, which can be detected by avalanche photodetector at single-photon counting level. Conversion efficiencies up to 45% are achieved.

We present a device to facilitate single-photon detection at communication wavelengths based on continuous-wave sum-frequency generation with an upconversion efficiency exceeding 90%. Sum-frequency generation in a periodically poled lithium niobate waveguide is used to upconvert signal photons to the near infrared, where detection can be performed efficiently by use of silicon avalanche photodiodes.

We demonstrate single-photon frequency-upconversion using a titanium-infused periodically-poled lithium niobate waveguide by L-band erbium-doped fiber amplifier pump. Internal efficiencies up to 84.4% and dark-count rate of 44kHz are achieved with narrowband filtering down to 3.5GHz.
