abstract = "We have developed high speed gated-mode single photon counters based on InGaAs/InP avalanche photodiodes. Room temperature operation allows for afterpulsing below 0.2% up to 14 MHz gate rate. We measure quantum efficiency of 14% with dark count probability of 0.2%.",

note = "Funding Information: Our optical source is an attenuated picosecond pulse from a 14 MHz fiber laser. The measured results of quantum efficiency vs. dark count probability for one APD is shown in Fig. 1a. In Fig. 1b, we present measurements of the afterpulse probability, which can be below 0.2% for a bias of 50 V, where the quantum efficiency is 13% and the dark count probability is 0.2%. We acknowledge funding from an ARO MURI and a NASA GSRP grant. Thanks to Scott Endicter and Mark Itzler of JDSU for the APDs.
