Abstract

Single-photon counting in the visible spectral range has become a standard method for many applications today, ranging from fluorescence spectroscopy to single-molecule detection and quantum optics. One of the key components for every setup is single-photon sensitive detectors. Unfortunately a detector with “ultimate” features, i.e., high detection efficiency at a large wavelength range, high temporal resolution, and low dark counts, does not exist. For most of the applications, it is therefore necessary to choose a detector based on the most crucial parameters for the targeted application.
This chapter provides an overview about the typically used single-pixel detectors for photon counting in the visible range. It provides information about the key parameters such as detection efficiency, dark counts and timing resolution that principally allow to choose the best suited detector for a targeted application.
