Abstract

To improve the Photon Detection Efficiency(PDE)

quantum efficiency and the dynamic detection range of a Multi-pixel Photon Counter(MPPC)

its detection characteristics

especially photon number resolving capability were researched. By taking the MPPC as a photon detecting device and utilizing the Peltier effect and external trigger technology

the temperature of MPPC was controlled down to 15 ℃ and the dark counts of MPPC was reduced to 6.510

-4

count/pulse.Then

by using the Poisson distribution

the output signal of MPPC was fitted in the statistical method.Obtained results indicate that the intensity of laser pulses obeys the Poisson distribution. According to the PDE given in the datasheet

the energy resolution of MPPC was calculated.Furthermore

combined the energy resolution and intensity distribution

the average energy of laser pulses was obtained. The experimental results indicate that the MPPC has the energy resolution about 1.9610

-18

J in 532 nm and the average photon number of laser pulse after attenuation is 1.665 and 4.201

respectively. In conclusion

the MPPC is capable of photon resolving and suit for the ultralow light detection in a large dynamic range.
