“…In this section, we will discuss how many might be actually measured in a realistic experiment. Since, in any case, the signal from XHV will be very low, it is essential to use single-photon detectors, which can achieve remarkable quantum efficiencies with state-of-art technology [20,21]. Typically, the size of the active region of this kind of detectors is of the order of a few microns.…”

One of the latest proposed applications of ultra-intense laser pulses is their possible use to gauge extreme high vacuum by measuring the photon radiation resulting from nonlinear Thomson scattering within a vacuum tube. Here, we provide a complete analysis of the process, computing the expected rates and spectra both for linear and circular polarizations of the laser pulses, taking into account the effect of the time envelope in a slowly-varying envelope approximation. We also design a realistic experimental configuration allowing for the implementation of the idea and compute the corresponding geometric efficiencies. Finally, we develop an optimization procedure for this Photonic Gauge of Extreme High Vacuum at high repetition rate Petawatt and multi-Petawatt laser facilities, such as VEGA, JuSPARC and ELI.

“…In 2007 Smirnov et al reported one of the earliest SNSPD arrays, a 4 pixel NbN detector array arranged in 2 Â 2 grid [102]. Each single detector pixel was a 10 Â 10 μm square containing a 100 nm to 120 nm wide meander wire with a 60-70 % fill factor and a wire thickness of 4 nm.…”

The ongoing progress of scientific research in areas such as quantum communications, low-light level laser ranging, and material science (to name but a few) has led to increased interest in the detection of single photons in the wavelength range 1-1.7 μm. Several technologies have been used to detect photons with wavelengths in this range -each with different characteristic parameters that affect their suitability for specific applications. This chapter will provide a review of progress in the development of detectors for use in this spectral region and will highlight some notable results.

“…At present, the fundamental possibility of integration of the SSPD structures in arrays on a single chip is confirmed. In particular, the technology of creation and the characteristics of an SSPD array with the size 2 × 2 are presented in [58]. Each element of such an array is characterized by the quantum efficiency η ∼ 0.16 in the infrared range.…”
