Problems solved by technology

The shortcoming of this single-photon detector circuit is that the shortest time interval between the adjacent avalanche signals produced by single-photon detection is too long, that is, the recovery time (dead time) between two avalanche diodes of the avalanche diode 2 is too long, resulting in recovery Loss of single-photon signal within a short period of time, reduced count rate, degraded detector performance
