Absolute quantum efficiency measurements using correlated photons: A study of systematics

Correlated photons can be used to measure the quantum efficiency of photon counting photodetectors without ties to any externally calibrated standards. We present a study of the measurement systematics for the purpose of reducing the measurement uncertainties to the 0.1% level and developing a robus...

Summary:Correlated photons can be used to measure the quantum efficiency of photon counting photodetectors without ties to any externally calibrated standards. We present a study of the measurement systematics for the purpose of reducing the measurement uncertainties to the 0.1% level and developing a robust measurement protocol.
