Embodiment

[0031] like Figure 4As shown, a pulse-splitting single-photon detector includes the first resistor R1~the tenth resistor R10, the first capacitor C1~the fourth capacitor C4, the inductor L1, the avalanche photodiode APD, the high-speed amplifier ADL5541 of ADI Company, and the high-speed amplifier of ADI Company High-speed comparator ADCMP553 and high-speed counter MC100EP016 of ONSEMI Company.

[0032] The APD is biased below the avalanche voltage through the DC bias unit VDC, the gate voltage is synchronized with the input light pulse, and is coupled to the cathode of the APD through the first capacitor C1, so that when the light signal arrives, the bias voltage reaches above the avalanche voltage. The electrical peak and avalanche signal generated by the gating pulse are amplified by the high-speed amplifier ADL5541, and then the amplitude is identified by the high-speed comparator ADCMP553 to generate one or two pulse outputs; the identification result is counted by the ...

Abstract

The invention discloses a single-photon detector circuit and a detection method thereof. The detection method comprises the following steps of: separating an electric peak and an avalanche signal which are generated by a gate control pulse on time domain by using a high-speed amplifier of which the speed is higher than that of the conventional gate control single-photon detector in the single-photon detector circuit; responding the electric peak and the avalanche signal respectively within a time interval of subnanosecond by a high-speed comparator to generate pulse output; and judging whether the avalanche signal is generated or not by a high-speed counter according to the number of pulses so as to screen a single-photon signal. The single-photon detector circuit and the detection method have the advantages that a structure is simple, the original avalanche signal can be separated out, the avalanche signal is utilized fully, and the single-photon detection efficiency is high.
