Summary: | This paper's purpose is to review the results recently obtained in the
Quantum Optics labs of the National Institute of Metrological Research (INRIM)
in the field of single- and few-photon detectors calibration, from both the
classical and quantum viewpoint. In the first part of the paper is presented
the calibration of a single-photon detector with absolute methods, while in the
second part we focus on photon-number-resolving detectors, discussing both the
classical and quantum characterization of such devices. |
