The SPAD XIII was loved by its pilots as it was known for its sturdiness. modelairplanenews.com
The project to design this RC SPAD XIII started in late 2009. modelairplanenews.com
The acquisition time per data point was 60 s for the SSPDs and 40 s for the Si SPADs.
Operating quantum waveguide circuits with superconducting single-photon detectors
The outputs of the waveguide circuit are routed to a pair of single-photon detectors (SSPDs or Si SPADs) via single mode optical fiber.
Operating quantum waveguide circuits with superconducting single-photon detectors
We note that SSPDs are more robust to damage from bright light than Si single-photon avalanche diodes (SPADs).
Operating quantum waveguide circuits with superconducting single-photon detectors
The photon pair collection rate was measured as ∼5000 s−1 when collected into polarization maintaining fibres (PMFs) and coupled directly to twin Si SPADs.
Operating quantum waveguide circuits with superconducting single-photon detectors
Here, owing to the low dark counts and excellent timing jitter, the SSPD outperforms the Si SPAD by >10.
