Abstract: A microscope is modified to allow for precise imaging of samples using different filters at different focal planes under computer control. A filter accessory includes a filter disc having bandpass filters. The filter disc may be rotated to move a selected filter into the optical path between a light source and the microscope sample. Adjustment of the image plane of the microscope is controlled by the computer using feedback from a lens position sensor.

Abstract: The temperature of a surface undergoing a radiation assisted thermally driven process is sensed by observation of the thermal emission from that surface and used to control the process. In a preferred embodiment, the blue edge of the thermal emission spectral distribution is detected to determine the surface temperature of a workpiece during a process such as laser-assisted chemical vapor deposition, and used to control this temperature. The temperature measuring system has means for focusing workpiece thermal emission and defining the field of view, a spectrometer to separate shorter wavelength light from other spectral components of the thermal emission, and a photon-counting system to detect the shorter wavelength light and generate a surface temperature signal. Systems to determine surface temperature at a spot and along a line have an optical prism to disperse the thermal emission into component wavelengths, and a multichannel photon-counting detector comprised of an intensified photodetector array.

Abstract: An optical filter and detector, and a related method for its operation, in which signal photons are admitted into a detector cell and selectively excite atoms or molecules of a vapor to a selected metastable state. An illuminating laser then photoionizes a large proportion of the excited atoms or molecules, and the resulting free electrons are collected as a measure of the number of incident signal photons. The initial excitation step to a metastable state is highly sensitive to the wavelength of the signal photons and therefore acts as a narrowband filter.

Abstract: A superconducting single-photon detection system includes: a plurality of optical transmission paths through each of which a photon emitted from a light source is transmitted; a plurality of superconducting single-photon detectors (hereinafter referred to as “SSPDs”) that are independent of each other and in one-to-one correspondence with the optical transmission paths; and a superconducting logic circuit that multiplexes first pulse signals output from the SSPDs. A photon entry time at which the photon enters each of the SSPDs through a corresponding one of the optical transmission paths is different for each of the optical transmission paths, and a difference in the photon entry time between the optical transmission paths is greater than a pulse width of a corresponding one of second pulse signals output from the superconducting logic circuit.

Abstract: The invention relates to a single-photon detector device (10) for detecting an optical signal, comprising an optical waveguide (12) and at least two nanowires (16, 18). The optical waveguide (12) is designed to guide the optical signal along an optical axis (14), wherein the at least two nanowires (16, 18) are arranged along the optical axis (14) relative thereto such that at least a second nanowire (18) is arranged in front of a first nanowire (16) with respect to the optical axis (14), wherein the at least two nanowires (16, 18) are designed to be superconductive at a specified temperature and, in the superconductive state, to generate an output signal when an intensity threshold of the optical signal is exceeded, and the at least two nanowires (16, 18) are designed so as to have different intensity thresholds. The invention additionally relates to the use of the aforementioned single-photon detector device for detecting an attack during a signal transmission encrypted using a quantum key distribution.

Abstract: The invention provides a single-photon detector that includes a superconducting wire made from a high quality and uniform superconducting film with a higher critical temperature. A reflector or a multilayered reflector with high reflectivity, preferably a nitride-based distributed Bragg reflector, is provided to reflect an incident light to the superconducting wire. A surface-plasmon wavelength-selective surface may be further provided above the superconducting wire to resonantly transmits the incident light within a selective passband, making the single-photon detector operable in the ultraviolet, visible, and infrared wavelength bands. In addition, a large area of superconducting film with high level of uniformity is grown to achieve the up scaling of the single-photon detector and a single-photon detector array.

Abstract: A method includes fabricating a device including a first dielectric layer, an optical waveguide in the first dielectric layer, and a superconducting circuit in the first dielectric layer and on the optical waveguide. The method also includes forming a sacrificial structure on the first dielectric layer, the sacrificial structure aligned with the superconducting circuit, depositing a second dielectric layer on the sacrificial structure, and cutting an opening in the second dielectric layer to expose the sacrificial structure. The method further includes wet etching the sacrificial structure through the opening and sealing the opening in the second dielectric layer with a third dielectric layer to form a micro-channel between the first dielectric layer and the second dielectric layer.
