Paper Abstract
Single photon detection was realized at a telecom wavelength with quantum dot resonant tunneling diodes grown on an
InP substrate. The structure contains a AlAs/In0.53Ga0.47As/AlAs quantum well with InAs quantum dots grown on the top
AlAs barrier. The single photon detection efficiency of the device under 1310 nm illumination was measured to be about
0.35%±0.07% with a dark count rate of 1.58×10-6 ns-1. This corresponds to an internal efficiency of 6.3%.
