  • Photon detection device and a method of manufacturing a photon detection device
    Patent number: 11513299
    Abstract: A photon detection device, configured to couple to a multicore optical fibre, the device comprising a plurality of detection regions, each detection region being arranged to align with just a single core of the multicore optical fibre when the device is coupled to the multicore optical fibre.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: February 27, 2017
    Date of Patent: November 29, 2022
    Assignee: Kabushiki Kaisha Toshiba
    Inventors: Andrew James Shields, Zakaria Moktadir
  • On-chip integration of MMIC and single photon detectors
    Patent number: 11177409
    Abstract: A photon detection device and method of fabricating a photon detection device are provided. The photon detection device comprises a first input terminal for receiving a DC input voltage, a second input terminal for receiving an AC input voltage and a bias tee connected to the first and second input terminals and configured to combine the AC and DC input voltages to form a combined voltage on an output of the bias tee. A first single photon detector is connected to the output of the bias tee and configured to receive the combined voltage from the bias tee, register a detection signal based on only a single photon being incident on the first single photon detector and output the detection signal indicative of the detected photon. A first output terminal is connected to an output of the first single photon detector for outputting the detection signal. The photon detection device is formed in a single integrated circuit.
