We demonstrate up-conversion single-photon detection for the 1550-nm telecommunications band using a PPLN waveguide, long-wavelength pump, and narrowband filtering using a volume Bragg grating. We achieve total-system detection efficiency of around 30% with noise at the dark-count level of a Silicon APD. Based on the new detector, a single-pixel up-conversion infrared spectrometer with a noise equivalent power of -142 dBm Hz(-1/2) was demonstrated, which was as good as a liquid nitrogen cooled CCD camera.
我们展示了使用周期极化铌酸锂(PPLN)波导、长波长泵浦以及体布拉格光栅进行窄带滤波,实现对1550纳米电信波段的上转换单光子探测。我们实现了约30%的全系统探测效率,噪声处于硅雪崩光电二极管(Si APD)暗计数水平。基于这种新型探测器,展示了一种噪声等效功率为-142 dBm Hz^(-1/2) 的单像素上转换红外光谱仪,其性能与液氮冷却的电荷耦合器件(CCD)相机相当。
