    摘要:

    量子信息技术的研究中大量采用单光子作为量子 信息的载体,因此单光子探测技术成为近来研究的 热点。目前基于InGaAs/InP雪崩光电二极管(APD)的单光子探测器(SPD)工作频率较低 且无法连续可 调。高速门控模式下,APD的容性效应会带来较强的尖峰噪声将光生雪崩信号湮没,导致探 测器的探测效 率也相对较低。为了提高单光子探测器的工作频率,降低后脉冲概率,设计了基于高速正弦 门控技术的 InGaAs/InP雪崩光电二极管淬灭-重置电路。为了抑制强大的背景噪声提高探测效率,设 计了双APD平衡 方案来提取有效雪崩信号。实验结果表明:设计的探测器工作频率连续可调;在- 50℃、1~1.3GHz门控频率 条件下,最光子大探测效率为35%,暗计数率为4.2×10 -5/gate。探测效率为18%时 ,暗计数率仅为5.6×10-6/gate,后脉冲概率均低于5×10-6/ns。

    Abstract:

    In quantum information,single photon is usually used to transmit information.Therefore, single-photon detection technology has become a focus recently.At present,the single photon detector (SPD) based on InGaAs/InP avalanche photodiode (APD) has low working frequency,and the freq uency of the SPD can not be adjusted continuously.When APD works in a high speed gated mode,the photo-gen erated avalanche signal is buried in the spike noise due to the capacitive response of APD,which leads to a relatively low detection efficiency.In order to reduce the afterpulse probability and en hance the operating frequency of the detector,we design the quench-reset circuit for InGaAs/InP APD based on high- speed sine wave gating.To overcome the strong background noise and improve the detection efficiency,we ex tract the effective avalanche signal using double-APD balancing.Experimental results show that the working fr equency of the detector can be adjusted continuously.At the temperature of -50℃ and with gating frequency ra nge of 1~1.3GHz,the highest detection efficiency reaches 35%,dark count probability per gate is 4.2×10 -5.When the detection efficiency is 18%,dark count probability per gate is 5.6×10-6.In both cases,afterpulse probability per nanosecond is less than 5×10-6.
