Description

technical field [0001] The design of the present invention belongs to the technical field of random signal sources, in particular, a device and method for simulating a single-photon pulse signal source are designed. Background technique [0002] A photon is the smallest energy quantum of light. Single-photon detection technology is a new type of photoelectric detection technology that has just started in recent years. Its principle is to use a single-photon detector based on a new type of photoelectric effect to detect and count incident single photons, so as to realize the detection of extremely weak target signals. detection. Single-photon detection detection counting can be useful in emerging applications where the signal strength of many light signals is only a few photon energy levels. This technology has been widely used in biophotonics, medical imaging, non-destructive material inspection, quantum imaging, quantum communication, etc. [0003] Currently commonly use...
