摘要：

We present a device to facilitate single-photon detection at communication wavelengths based an continuous-, wave sum-frequency generation with an upconversion efficiency exceeding 90%. Sum-frequency generation in a periodically poled lithium niobate waveguide is used to upcopvert signal photons to the near infrared, where detection can be performed efficiently by use of silicon avalanche photodiodes.
