| Compact single-photon detectors for high bit-rate quantum key distribution | QCRYPT 2013 | Lucian Comandar, Ketaki Patel, Marco Lucamarini, James Dynes, Andrew Sharpe, Zhiliang Yuan, Richard Penty, Andrew Shields |
Running single photon detectors (such as single photon avalanche photodiodes or superconducting nanowire detectors) at high speed is challenging and requires innovative driving and signal processing electronics. Self-differencing has been shown to be a very successful method to achieve detection rates in excess of 1 GHz using APDs while keeping low error rates from dark counts and afterpulses. Here, we present first results of high bit-rate QKD using a novel compact self-differencing setup which is integrated completely on a single printed circuit board (PCB). We achieve bit rates higher than 1 Mbit/s for a fibre distance of 50 km. |
