Abstract

Single photon detectors play a key role across a number of basic science and technology applications. While progress has been made in improving performance, single photon detectors that can maintain high performance while also resolving the photon frequency are still lacking. In this presentation, I will discuss how a photodetector architecture composed of nanoscale elements that cooperatively interact with the photon field can simultaneously achieve high efficiency, low jitter, low dark count rate, and high frequency resolution. A potential physical realization of such an architecture utilizing carbon nanotubes will be presented.
