Photon-number-resolving detectors (PNR) allow for direct access to the photon number distribution of nanophotonic light sources and
can thus be exploited to explore the photon statistics of semiconductor-based non-classical light sources.
In this work, we report on the realization of a stand-alone measurement system with two
fiber-coupled transiton edge sensors (TESs) integrated within a compact adiabatic demagnetization refrigerator.
The performance of the detector system is analyzed in terms of its detection efficiency, which is determined to be larger than 87 % (850 - 950 nm).
As an exemplary application in QD-metrology, we employ this detector to evaluate the photon number distribution of QD-based single- and twin- photon sources [1] based on deterministically fabricated QD microlenses.
