Single photon absorption laser facility for single event effect testing
2016 IEEE Canadian Conference on Electrical and Computer Engineering (CCECE), 2016The laser testing facility for single event effects (SEEs) at the Saskatchewan Structural Sciences Centre, University of Saskatchewan is introduced and its principles of operation described. An ultrafast pulsed laser setup is used to investigate the SEE behavior of microelectronic circuits and devices.

Characterization of optical absorptance in superconducting nanowire single-photon detectors
2013 IEEE 14th International Superconductive Electronics Conference (ISEC), 2013We present a numerical simulation of the optical absorptance for the superconducting nanowire single-photon detectors (SNSPDs or SSPDs) designed with various layouts by using finite-element analysis software. The simulation results reveal that the electric field concentrated in the superconducting nanowire is enhanced by reducing the filling factor ...

On the evolution of N-atom state prepared by absorption of a single photon
Optics Communications, 2010We study evolution of timed symmetric N-atom state prepared by conditional absorption of a single photon and exhibiting superradiant decay. We find analytical expression for the initial decay rate of the state valid for any size of spherical atomic cloud.

Single-photon sources using two-photon absorption
SPIE Proceedings, 2007Although two-photon absorption (TPA) is a nonlinear optical process, it is not typically considered a fundamental resource for optical quantum information processing (QIP). We have recently shown that TPA and the quantum Zeno effect can be used to make deterministic quantum logic devices (Zeno gates) from an otherwise linear optical system.

The Response of the Limulus Photoreceptor Cell to the Absorption of Single Photons
Berichte der Bunsengesellschaft für physikalische Chemie, 1988AbstractThe response of the visual cell of the horseshoe crab Limulus to light stimuli is described. Due to the absorption of a single photon, a rhodopsin molecule is light‐activated and starts a sequence of causal steps which lead to the generation of a relatively large elementary excitatory response, the “bump”.

The Response of the Limulus Photoreceptor to the Absorption of Single Photons
1988The ventral photoreceptor of the horseshoe crab Limulus (Fig. 1) responds to very dim flashes of light with so-called “bumps”, elementary excitatory events.

Single-photon absorption of liquid methanol and ethanol in the vacuum ultraviolet
Chemical Physics Letters, 2002Abstract The single-photon absorption spectra of pure liquid methanol and ethanol have been measured for the first time, between 6 and 10.8 eV, with the help of a new technique specially developed for the detection of vacuum ultraviolet synchrotron beams normally transmitted through thin (1±0.5 μm ) liquid films.

Quantum interference between Raman scattering and single-photon absorption
Chinese Physics B, 2009A new kind of quantum interference between Raman scattering and single-photon absorption is predicted theoretically, which gives an expanded view of quantum interference. Its potential application is also proposed.

Pointlike destruction in transparent materials caused by single-photon absorption
SPIE Proceedings, 1999A quantum-kinetic theory is suggested for point-like destructions generation in clear transparent dielectrics. Direct absorption of phonons with an energy exceeding the binding energy of a neural adatom with lattice may become a cause for destruction. The theory contains one phenomenological parameter requiring experimental verification.
