Abstract
The results of research on an experimental sample of a quantum matrix sensor created using hybrid technologies and designed to solve low-photon problems are presented. Hybrid technologies combine the functionality of vacuum electron-optical converters and silicon matrix photosensitive devices. Electron-optical converters provide a high brightness gain of optical radiation with a low noise level, and matrix photosensitive devices provide a high level of processing of the spatial brightness distribution of optical radiation. Combining these capabilities allows photonics tools to advance into the low-photon fi eld. Hybrid quantum matrix sensors allow measurements to be performed in the photon counting mode, i.e., to measure the parameters of objects from which a countable number of photons enter the sensor. This signifi cantly expands the possibilities of photonics in medicine, biology, astronomy, remote sensing of the Earth, quantum communications, etc.
