In this paper, a unique device is proposed to detect single IR photons from low efficiency sources and to convert a single-photon signal into a much stronger optical signal at a wavelength easily detectable by a Si CCD or CMOS sensor. The three functions: single photon detection, signal amplification, and wavelength conversion, are integrated in one device. This could pave the way for optical interconnect without dedicated high efficiency light sources such as lasers or LEDs.
