“…Across a wide range of wavelengths, microchannel plate photomultipler tubes provide an alternative to an STJ, with improved timing resolution up to ~25 ps, but with no energy resolution at optical wavelengths, and only very poor energy resolution at soft X-ray wavelengths. No detector exists that has the required combination of features for the current application demands of single photon counting photodetectors, such as high detection efficiency with wavelength specificity, high temporal resolution and low dark count [ 33 ].…”

Graphene is a highly promising material in the development of new photodetector technologies, in particular due its tunable optoelectronic properties, high mobilities and fast relaxation times coupled to its atomic thinness and other unique electrical, thermal and mechanical properties. Optoelectronic applications and graphene-based photodetector technology are still in their infancy, but with a range of device integration and manufacturing approaches emerging this field is progressing quickly. In this review we explore the potential of graphene in the context of existing single photon counting technologies by comparing their performance to simulations of graphene-based single photon counting and low photon intensity photodetection technologies operating in the visible, terahertz and X-ray energy regimes. We highlight the theoretical predictions and current graphene manufacturing processes for these detectors. We show initial experimental implementations and discuss the key challenges and next steps in the development of these technologies.

The ongoing progress of scientific research in areas such as quantum communications, low-light level laser ranging, and material science (to name but a few) has led to increased interest in the detection of single photons in the wavelength range 1-1.7 μm. Several technologies have been used to detect photons with wavelengths in this range -each with different characteristic parameters that affect their suitability for specific applications. This chapter will provide a review of progress in the development of detectors for use in this spectral region and will highlight some notable results.
