Abstract
Optical quantum communications require photon counters with high speed, high quantum efficiency, and short dead times simultaneously with low jitter and low dark counts rates. These days, almost all commercial and military communication systems are based on optical fibers, thus, for practical quantum communications, detectors with high sensitivity at standard near-infrared telecommunications wavelengths of 1.3 micrometers and 1.55 micrometers are needed.
