High performance of gated-mode single-photon detector at 1.55μm

High performances of single-photon detection at 1.55μm were achieved by operating InGaAs/InP avalanche photodiodes in the gated mode at the optimized temperature. As short pulses used in the gated-mode detection produce strong spikes, a transformer-based method was invented to cancel the spikes, whi...
