EinzelphotonModus
EinzelphotonModus refers to a mode of operation in optical systems or detectors where the apparatus is specifically designed to register or interact with individual photons. This is in contrast to systems that measure the overall intensity of light, which is composed of a large number of photons. In the EinzelphotonModus, the goal is to detect the arrival of single quantum particles of light.
This mode of operation is crucial in various scientific and technological fields. It is fundamental to quantum
Detectors operating in EinzelphotonModus, such as single-photon avalanche diodes (SPADs) or superconducting nanowire single-photon detectors (SNSPDs),
