Abstract

The detection efficiency calibration of single-photon avalanche detectors is presented. The detection efficiency is determined from the measurement of the photon count rate and incoming photon flux traceable to reference standard detectors, and corrected by afterpulse probability and dead time. We describe the measurement facilities and the reference standard detectors used, as well as the traceability chain of the measurements to the primary standard detector. As an example, the measurement uncertainty components are determined and analyzed in detail and the obtained combined standard measurement uncertainty is <0.5% at 633nm and 1550nm.
