Abstract: Single photons can be detected in the visible and near-infrared range, but not so easily at longer wavelengths, such as the far-infrared. A detector that uses a single-electron switch can now detect individual photons in the far-infrared. Such a detector will be of interest to astronomy, biochemistry and atmospheric research.
