Quenching Circuit of Avalanche Diodes for Single Photon Detection

Abstract:

To reduce the afterpulsing in single photon detection based on avalanche diodes, an advanced passive quenching circuit for operation in free-running mode is developed. The measurement setup is designed. The dark count rate (DCR) and afterpulsing of Single photon avalanche diodes (SPADs) are measured. The results show that the new passive quenching circuit has a better afterpulsing performance compared to traditional circuits.
