• Automated characterization of single-photon avalanche photodiode 

      Ghazali, Aina; Bugge, Audun Nystad; Sauge, Sebastien; Makarov, Vadim (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2011)
      We report an automated characterization of a single-photon detector based on commercial silicon avalanche photodiode (PerkinElmer C30902SH). The photodiode is characterized by I-V curves at different illumination levels ...
    • Controlling an actively-quenched single photon detector with bright light 

      Sauge, Sebastien; Lydersen, Lars Vincent Van de Wiel; Anisimov, Andrey; Skaar, Johannes; Makarov, Vadim (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2011)
      We control using bright light an actively-quenched avalanche single-photon detector. Actively-quenched detectors are commonly used for quantum key distribution (QKD) in the visible and near-infrared range. This study shows ...
