Description

b. High Efficiency Photodetectors and Homodyne Detectors While substantial quantum squeezing and entanglement can be produced optically, high efficiency photodetection in cryogenic and other environments is necessary in order to make use of it. High detection efficiency is also vital to quantum networks of sensors. Proposals are sought for production, testing, and/or validation of photodetector systems with high speed (>5GHz) and high quantum efficiency (>99%) capable of detecting continuous variable quantum information in telecom and NIR wavelengths. In some sensing protocols, coherent detection is required to properly characterize signals and noise and to detect the presence of entanglement in optical fields. High efficiency (>99%) and high speed (>1GHz) homodyne detectors are needed in order to enable advanced sensing and networking applications. Questions Contact: John Boger, john.boger@science.doe.gov
