Silicon single photon counting detector operating under high background photon flux conditions
Original language description
We are reporting a review of our results in research and development in the field of avalanche semiconductor single photon detectors and their application. Our goal was a development of a solid state photon counting detector capable of high precision photon arrival time tagging in extremely harsh operating conditions. The background photon flux exceeding 10E9 photons per second hitting the detector active area should not avoid the useful signal detection and recognition on the signal level of units of photons per second. This is background photon flux about two orders of magnitude higher than the conventional solid state photon counters accept. The detection timing resolution and delay stability should be better than hundreds of picoseconds.
