Gated superconducting single photon detectors
Enhance your signal-to-noise ratio with high precision filtering
In applications where background noise reduction and temporal filtering are crucial, the swift activation and deactivation of the photon detectors are often needed. Additionally, in experiments involving resonant-excitation-collection, fast gating can be a game-changer for filtering out undesired photons, eliminating the need for cross-polarization techniques and their inherent losses.
Single Quantum has developed fast gated SNSPD, which allows full restoration of the efficiency within a time frame ranging from merely nanoseconds to several tens of nanoseconds. It is the perfect choice for cutting-edge experiments which require rapid temporal filtering with flexible photon detection window.
Fast gated SNSPDs are particularly advantageous in applications such as fluorescence spectroscopy, single-photon LiDAR, quantum communication, telecommunications and microscopy.
