    What is single photon detection?


    *
    Answer

    Single photon detection is a very weak light detection method. The intensity of the photocurrent of the detected light is lower than the thermal noise level of the photodetector itself at room temperature (10-14W). It cannot be used by the usual DC detection method.This signal that is submerged in the noise is extracted.
