Title Nanostructured materials for photon detection Type Journal Article
Year 2010 Publication Nature Nanotechnology Abbreviated Journal Nat. Nanotech.
Volume 5 Issue 6 Pages 391–400
Keywords (up)
Abstract The detection of photons underpins imaging, spectroscopy, fibre-optic communications and time-gated distance measurements. Nanostructured materials are attractive for detection applications because they can be integrated with conventional silicon electronics and flexible, large-area substrates, and can be processed from the solution phase using established techniques such as spin casting, spray coating and layer-by-layer deposition. In addition, their performance has improved rapidly in recent years. Here we review progress in light sensing using nanostructured materials, focusing on solution-processed materials such as colloidal quantum dots and metal nanoparticles. These devices exhibit phenomena such as absorption of ultraviolet light, plasmonic enhancement of absorption, size-based spectral tuning, multiexciton generation, and charge carrier storage in surface and interface traps.

Title High-quality fiber-optic polarization entanglement distribution at 1.3 μm telecom wavelength Type Journal Article
Year 2010 Publication Optics Letters Abbreviated Journal Opt. Lett.
Volume 35 Issue 9 Pages 1392-1394
Keywords (up)
Abstract We demonstrate high-quality distribution of 1.3 μm polarization-entangled photons generated from a fiber-coupled periodically poled KTiOPO4 waveguide over 200 m fiber-optic cables. Time-multiplexed measurements with a 19% efficient superconducting nanowire single-photon detector at the remote location show a detected flux of 5.8 pairs / s at a pump power of 25 μW and an average two-photon quantum-interference visibility of 97.7% without subtraction of accidentals.

Title Сверхпроводниковый смеситель на эффекте электронного разогрева как элемент матрицы системы построения тепловых изображений Type Journal Article
Year 2010 Publication Письма в Журнал технической физики Abbreviated Journal Письма в ЖТФ
Volume 36 Issue 21 Pages 70-78
Keywords (up)
Abstract Исследована возможность использования матрицы чувствительных элементов на гиперполусферической линзе диаметром 12 mm в тепловизоре терагерцевого диапазона частот. Получены размеры области на линзе, приемлемой для расположения матрицы, в которой шумовая температура приемника меняется в пределах 16% от средней. Диаметр этой области составил 3.3% диаметра линзы.Получены отклонения основного лепестка диаграммы направленности, которые составили ±1.25â—<a6> от направления с оптимальным положением смесителя. Флуктуационная чувствительность приемника в эксперименте составила 0.5 K на частоте 300 GHz.

Title Microwave-assisted measurement of the frequency response of terahertz HEB mixers with a Fourier transform spectrometer Type Conference Article
Year 2010 Publication Proc. 21th Int. Symp. Space Terahertz Technol. Abbreviated Journal Proc. 21th Int. Symp. Space Terahertz Technol.
Volume Issue Pages 420-423
Keywords (up)
Abstract We describe a novel method of operation of the HEB direct detector for use with a Fourier Transform Spectrometer. Instead of elevating the bath temperature, we have measured the RF response of waveguide HEB mixers by applying microwave radiation to select appropriate bias conditions. In our experiment, a microwave signal is injected into the HEB mixer via its IF port. By choosing an appropriate injection level, the device can be operated close to the desired operating point. Furthermore, we have shown that both thermal biasing and microwave injection can reproduce the same spectral response of the HEB mixer. However, with the use of microwave injection, there is no need to wait for the mixer to reach thermal equilibrium, so characterisation can be done in less time. Also, the liquid helium consumption for our wet cryostat is also reduced. We have demonstrated that the signal- to-noise ratio of the FTS measurements can be improved with microwave injection.
