Invited Review Article: Single-photon sources and detectors
M. D. Eisaman, J. Fan, A. Migdall, S. V. Polyakov- Instrumentation
We review the current status of single-photon-source and single-photon-detector technologies operating at wavelengths from the ultraviolet to the infrared. We discuss applications of these technologies to quantum communication, a field currently driving much of the development of single-photon sources and detectors.
