Detection of non-classical space-time correlations with a novel type of single-photon camera

Opt Express. 2014 Jul 14;22(14):17561-72. doi: 10.1364/OE.22.017561.

Abstract

During the last decades, multi-pixel detectors have been developed capable of registering single photons. The newly developed hybrid photon detector camera has a remarkable property that it has not only spatial but also temporal resolution. In this work, we apply this device to the detection of non-classical light from spontaneous parametric down-conversion and use two-photon correlations for the absolute calibration of its quantum efficiency.
