AbstractWe build and test a single-photon detector based on a Si avalanche photodiode Excelitas 30902SH thermoelectrically cooled to −100∘C. Our detector has dark count rate below 1 Hz, $500\ \mu\mathrm{m}$ 500 μ m diameter photosensitive area, photon detection efficiency around 50%, afterpulsing less than 0.35%, and timing jitter under 1 ns. These characteristics make it suitable for long-distance free-space quantum communication links, which we briefly discuss. We also report an improved method that we call long-time afterpulsing analysis, used to determine and visualise long trap lifetimes at different temperatures.

In this paper, we experimentally characterize the Inga As/Imp avalanche photodiode (APD), which is working in Geiger mode, so as to choose the single photon detector for quantum communication. Due to the fact that bias of APD tends to be flat after avalanche, we first adopt the methodology of passive quenching to determine dark breakdown voltage. Experiment results indicate that temperature reduction will widen the optimal operating region and increase the optimal multiplication; therefore APD will be more sensitive. Epitaxial APD is the best choice for single-photon detection among the APDs we have tested for its low noise level and high signal-to-noise ratio (SNR). Finally, we design a mixed passive-active quenching integrated circuit with gate control, which is quick with the quenching time of about 25ns and has controllable dead time with minimum of about 60ns.
