Radiation detectors based on the deposition of a 10 to 30 μm thick hydrogenated amorphous silicon (a-Si:H) sensor directly on top of integrated circuits have been developed. The performance of this detector technology has been assessed for the first time i ...
Nanowire superconducting single photon detectors (SSPDs) [1] are characterized by very high sensitivity in the near infrared (detection efficiency η up to 30%, for a dark count rate DK of few Hz), speed (up to ∼1 GHz repetition rate) and time resolution (j ...
We describe a single-photon source based on an array of spontaneous parametric down-conversion (SPDC) modules multiplexed by an integrated structure composed of electro-optic switches and delay wave-guides. The suggested optical device allows to increase t ...
We present a new photon number resolving detector (PNR), the Parallel Nanowire Detector (PND), which uses spatial multiplexing on a subwavelength scale to provide a single electrical output proportional to the photon number. The basic structure of the PND ...
This thesis presents the design, development, and experimental validation of two types of scintillation particle detectors with high spatial resolution. The first one is based on the well established scintillating fibre technology. It will complement the A ...
The monolithic integration of single-photon sources, passive optical circuits, and single-photon detectors enables complex and scalable quantum photonic integrated circuits, for application in linear-optics quantum computing and quantum communications. Her ...
Time-correlated single photon counting techniques have recently established themselves in numerous fields of research. In particular, for fluorescence lifetime imaging, time-correlated single photon counting is often considered the absolute reference in te ...
Earthquakes around the world have affected many unanchored tanks used for storage of gasoline. When these unanchored tanks are subjected to strong motion, the moment generated at the base, by the mass of liquid contained in the tank, will cause partial upl ...
We present the first nanoscale (down to approximate to 50 x 50 nm(2)) detector displaying single-photon sensitivity and a nanosecond response. This type of nanodetector can also be operated in multiphoton mode, where the detection threshold can be set at N ...
We consider the fault-tolerant consensus problem in radio networks with crash-prone nodes. Specifically, we develop lower bounds and matching upper bounds for this problem in single-hop radios networks, where all nodes are located within broadcast range of ...
