We design and demonstrate a resonant-type differential photodetector for low-noise quantum homodyne measurement at 500MHz optical sideband with 17MHz of bandwidth. By using a microwave monolithic amplifier and a discrete voltage buffer circuit, a low-noise voltage amplifier is realized and applied to our detector. 12dB of signal-to-noise ratio of the shot noise to the electric noise is obtained with 5mW of continuous-wave local oscillator. We analyze the frequency response and the noise characteristics of a resonant photodetector, and the theoretical model agrees with the shot noise measurement.

We present the design and characterisation of a low-noise, resonant input transimpedance amplified photodetector. The device operates at a resonance frequency of $90 ,textrm{MHz}$ and exhibits an input referred current noise of $1.2,textrm{pA}/sqrt{t extrm{Hz}}$---marginally above the the theoretical limit of $1.0,textrm{pA}/sqrt{textrm{Hz}}$ set by the room temperature Johnson noise of the detectors $16,textrm{k}Omega$ transimpedance. As a result, the photodetector allows for shot-noise limited operation for input powers exceeding $14,mutextrm{W}$ at $461,textrm{nm}$ corresponding to a noise equivalent power of $3.5,textrm{pW}/sqrt{textrm{Hz}}$. The key design feature which enables this performance is a low-noise, common-source JFET amplifier at the input which helps to reduce the input referred noise contribution of the following amplification stages.
The Pound-Drever-Hall laser stabilization technique requires a fast, low-noise photodetector. We present a simple photodetector design that uses a transformer as an intermediary between a photodiode and cascaded low-noise radio-frequency amplifiers. Our implementation using a silicon photodiode yields a detector with 50 MHz bandwidth, gain $> 10^5$ V/A, and input current noise $< 4$ pA/$sqrt{mathrm{Hz}}$, allowing us to obtain shot-noise-limited performance with low optical power.

In integrated photonics, specific wavelengths are preferred such as 1550 nm due to low-loss transmission and the availability of optical gain in this spectral region. For chip-based photodetectors, layered two-dimensional (2D) materials bear scientif ic and technologically-relevant properties leading to strong light-matter-interaction devices due to effects such as reduced coulomb screening or excitonic states. However, no efficient photodetector in the telecommunication C-band using 2D materials has been realized yet. Here, we demonstrate a MoTe2-based photodetector featuring strong photoresponse (responsivity = 0.5 A/W) operating at 1550nm on silicon photonic waveguide enabled by engineering the strain (4%) inside the photo-absorbing transition-metal-dichalcogenide film. We show that an induced tensile strain of ~4% reduces the bandgap of MoTe2 by about 0.2 eV by microscopically measuring the work-function across the device. Unlike Graphene-based photodetectors relying on a gapless band structure, this semiconductor-2D material detector shows a ~100X improved dark current enabling an efficient noise-equivalent power of just 90 pW/Hz^0.5. Such strain-engineered integrated photodetector provides new opportunities for integrated optoelectronic systems.
The topic of quantum noise has become extremely timely due to the rise of quantum information physics and the resulting interchange of ideas between the condensed matter and AMO/quantum optics communities. This review gives a pedagogical introduction to the physics of quantum noise and its connections to quantum measurement and quantum amplification. After introducing quantum noise spectra and methods for their detection, we describe the basics of weak continuous measurements. Particular attention is given to treating the standard quantum limit on linear amplifiers and position detectors using a general linear-response framework. We show how this approach relates to the standard Haus-Caves quantum limit for a bosonic amplifier known in quantum optics, and illustrate its application for the case of electrical circuits, including mesoscopic detectors and resonant cavity detectors.
By coupling a quantum detector, a superconductor-insulator-superconductor junction, to a Josephson junction textit{via} a resonant circuit we probe the high frequency properties, namely the ac complex admittance and the current fluctuations of the Jo sephson junction at the resonant frequencies. The admittance components show frequency dependent singularities related to the superconducting density of state while the noise exhibits a strong frequency dependence, consistent with theoretical predictions. The circuit also allows to probe separately the emission and absorption noise in the quantum regime of the superconducting resonant circuit at equilibrium. At low temperature the resonant circuit exhibits only absorption noise related to zero point fluctuations, whereas at higher temperature emission noise is also present.
