Abstract

We introduce and demonstrate a simple and highly sensitive method for characterizing single-photon detectors. This method is based on analyzing multi-order correlations among time-tagged detection events from a device under calibrated continuous-wave illumination. First- and second-order properties such as detection efficiency, dark count rate, afterpulse probability, dead time, and reset behavior are measured with high accuracy from a single data set, as well as higher-order properties such as higher-order afterpulse effects. While the technique is applicable to any type of click/no-click detector, we apply it to two different single-photon avalanche diodes, and we find that it reveals a heretofore unreported afterpulse effect due to detection events that occur during the device reset.

Histograms of first, second, third and fourth detection are shown and marked by color. (c, f) Afterpulsing profile of a detector, obtained under low-average count-rate conditions, with photon counts and dark counts subtracted, therefore the effect of higher-order detections not associated with the laser source is negligible.

Fig. 4 The two-step detector recovery calculations. A plot of observed afterpulse counts at different input powers with true electronic afterpulses subtracted. Detector A exhibits a rise in apparent afterpulsing whereas detector B exhibits their suppression. Dots: measured values. Solid lines: linear fits based on low count rates. Dashed lines: extrapolation of linear fits. Deviation of the measured data from these extrapolations shows saturation effects at higher count rates.

Surface cuts (marked with horizontal lines) represent the second afterpulsing peak, and are plotted separately. (b, e) Test of a second-order detector model. Difference between expected and actual histograms expressed as a logarithm of the ratio of the measured and expected histograms, see Eq. (5). The second-order model is correct except for times immediately following the inactive time, indicating that more than one prior detection affects the detector’s behavior. (c, f) Structure of second afterpulses, i.e. afterpulses that occur immediately after an earlier afterpulse, and a transition to the steady-state. A significant change in the second afterpulse shape with respect to that of the typical afterpulse is seen for detector A. A significant decrease in the afterpusing events is seen for detector B.
