Title:
SCALABLE READOUTS FOR PHOTON DETECTORS USING INTEGRATED MODULATORS
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2014/088669
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
Techniques for scalable readouts for photon detectors using integrated modulators and wavelength-division multiplexing are disclosed herein. An exemplary apparatus can include a plurality of photon detectors, each adapted to provide an output signal in response to detected photons. A plurality of modulators each can be coupled to a respective one of the plurality of photon detectors. The modulators can convert an output of the photon detectors into an optical signal. A wavelength-division multiplexing (WDM) device can be coupled to each of the plurality of modulators and can guide the optical signal from each modulator into one or more outputs.
