Single-Photon Detection for Data Communication and Quantum SystemsMany single photon detection
systems are based on the technology of superconducting nanowires. But despite
their high detection efficiency, the need of cooling them to cryogenic temperatures
prohibits their widespread usage. This book shows the progress of
integrated (thick) CMOS SPADs towards high photon detection probabilities and
applications such as in low-cost consumer data communication and high-end
single-photon counting for quantum applications. Newest research results are
introduced and comprehensively detailed.
Key Features

basics to applications.
2. The properties of discrete
SPADs and of integrated SPADs are compared in compact form.
3. Dedicated circuits to exploit
discrete and integrated SPADs are introduced and explained in detail.
4. Microelectronics and
optoelectronics are combined in an easily understandable way.
5. Numerous elaborate
illustrations and tables facilitate and enhance comprehension.
