How Single-Photon Detection Powers Countless Applications

Facebook X LinkedIn Email
The number of ways to detect and count single photons is growing, and applications for single-photon detection are expanding and emerging at a similar pace.

RICHARD SIMONS, EXCELITAS TECHNOLOGIES

The technologies we use in our everyday activities to monitor the world around us — to develop new medicines or to produce the materials we use to build homes, offices, and factories — all rely on the most precise measurements of key parameters possible. As the need for accuracy and precision has increased, optical measurement methods have increasingly become the go-to solution to getting the information we need. More specifically, single-photon detection has become increasingly critical to helping us reach required performance levels. Today, single-photon detection enables...Read full article
