We measure the detection efficiency of single-photon detectors at wavelengths near 851 nm and 1533.6 nm. We investigate the spatial uniformity of one free-space-coupled single-photon avalanche diode and present a comparison between fusion-spliced and connectorized fiber-coupled single-photon detectors. We find that our expanded relative uncertainty for a single measurement of the detection efficiency is as low as 0.70 % for fiber-coupled measurements at 1533.6 nm and as high as 1.78 % for our free-space characterization at 851.7 nm. The detection-efficiency determination includes corrections for afterpulsing, dark count, and count-rate effects of the single-photon detector with the detection efficiency interpolated to operation at a specified detected count rate.

  1. Meta-study of laser power calibrations ranging 20 orders of magnitude with traceability to the kilogram

    physics.ins-det 2019-08 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    NIST's laser power meters spanning 20 orders of magnitude agree internally, and the paper maps all of them to a radiation-pressure, kilogram-traceable path with less than 3% expanded uncertainty.
