Problems solved by technology

Due to the rapid shutdown method, the active suppression circuit overcomes the shortcoming of the long recovery time of the passive suppression circuit, and the avalanche time is short, and the after-pulse probability is low
However, since there are no photons, the APD is still in the Geiger mode, so that the dark count under the active suppression circuit is higher than that of the gate pulse mode described later.

Abstract

The invention discloses a bipolar bias APD single photon detection system. The system comprises an APD circuit, a positive and negative bipolar bias generation circuit, a bipolar gate pulse generation circuit, a first transmission line transformer circuit, a second transmission line transformer circuit, a high-speed comparator circuit used for identifying avalanches. The system aims to use the bipolar gate pulses to be matched with bipolar direct current bias to excite an APD and detect positive and negative avalanche signals, positive and negative gate pulses are equivalent to unipolar bias of absolute amplitude sum of two gate pulses added on the APD, excitation of single photon avalanches of the APD under low direct current bias voltage and high gate pulse amplitude is facilitated, and accordingly, effects of dark counting and after pulses are reduced and the detection efficiency and the work efficiency of a single photon detector are improved .
