Title
High-Speed Single-Photon Detection Using 2-GHz Sinusoidally Gated InGaAs/InP Avalanche Photodiode
Abstract
We report a telecom-band single-photon detector for highspeed quantum key distribution systems. The single-photon detector is based on a sinusoidally gated InGaAs/InP avalanche photodiode. The gate repetition frequency of the single-photon detector reached 2 GHz. A quantum efficiency of 10.5% at 1550 nm was obtained with a dark count probability per gate of 6.1x10(-7) and an afterpulsing probability of 3.4%.
