| contents | Single-photon detectors (SPDs) are widely used in applications requiring extremely weak light detection. In the near-infrared region, SPDs based on InGaAs/InP single-photon avalanche diodes (SPADs) are the primary candidates for practical applications because of their small size, low cost and ease of operation. Driven by the escalating demands for quantum communication and lidar, the performance of InGaAs/InP SPDs has been continuously enhanced. This paper provides a comprehensive review of advances in InGaAs/InP SPDs over the past 10 years, including the investigation into SPAD structures and mechanisms, as well as emerging readout techniques for both gated and free-running mode SPDs. In addition, future prospects are also summarised. |
