Photon counting using a large area avalanche photodiode cooled to 100 K

We have detected single 650 nm photons with quantum efficiencies greater than 60% using a large area silicon avalanche photodiode. We cool a 5 mm diam commercially available device to 100 K and operate in the gain-mode. For most applications—from the near-infrared to the ultraviolet—this device is t...
