For their system, the researchers set a laser next to a highly
sensitive photon detector, which can record even a single particle of light.
Using
a sensitive photon detector, researchers in the UK recently sent encrypted photons down the length of a 100 - kilometre fibre optic cable.
Not exact matches
A team of researchers has built an array of light
detectors sensitive enough to register the arrival of individual light particles, or
photons, and mounted them on a silicon optical chip.
The scientists had to ensure that, in their enormous, highly
sensitive particle
detector, only two
photons appeared, and convince themselves that no other particles had gone unaccounted for.
In the UV and X-ray range from 20 eV up to 20 keV the direct detection of the
photons is usually donc on back - illuminated fully depleted, thus fully
