Measurement of the optical to electrical detection delay in the detector for ground-to-space laser time transfer

Original language description

We present a new type of measurement and the first results of determination of the optical to electrical delay of a photon counting detector. This type of measurement has not been reported for photon counting. The absolute value of the time interval between the time of arrival of the signal photon onto the detector input aperture and the time when the electrical output signal exceeds the pre-defined level must be determined. The optical to electrical delay value is required for ground-to-space laser time transfer with picosecond accuracy. The laser time transfer link is under construction for the European Space Agency for its application in the experiment Atomic Clock Ensemble in Space. We have developed the measurement technique and have measured thedetection delay of the solid state photon counter. The experiment is described along with the first results.
