Fig. 1: Schematic diagram of the proposed method. Schematic diagram of the LiDAR system with photon-number-resolving (PNR) detection.
From: Photon-number-resolving detection enables single-photon LiDAR approaching the standard quantum limit

The data is obtained by the transceiver, detected by the superconducting nanowire single-photon detector (SNSPD) array, and processed by the active photon number filter (APNF) algorithm
