The article considers a system for measuring the parameters of single photon detectors implemented on the EMQOS 1.0 platform. A description of the experimental setup and its main parameters is presented. The possibility of using the assembled experimental stand for the metrology of photodetectors in the field of telecommunication wavelengths is shown. The results of testing a single photon detector designed for operation in quantum communication systems are presented.

Advances in single-photon counting and fiber metrology

Patrick Eraerds

Single-photon detectors on the one hand and optical fibers for telecommunication on the other are technical fields of high importance in science and daily life. With the advent of fiber-based quantum communication and fiber metrology applying single-photon detectors, a direct link has been established. The work presented in this thesis is devoted to new techniques and developments in this environment.

Remotely Gated InGaAs Single-Photon Detector at 1550 nm

Single-photon detectors (SPDs) are important devices in the development of quantum technologies, like quantum metrology, quantum computers and quantum communication. The simplest, cheapest and most commonly used SPD employs avalanche photodiode. After the photon absorption, a photocurrent is produced and it must be quenched before to damage the device. In the present work we show a new strategy for quenching the photocurrent of avalanche photodiodes remotely. Our scheme makes easier the synchronism between sender and receiver in a quantum communication setup. Some experimental results are presented.
