  text: Visible light photon counters (VLPCs) and solid-state photomultipliers (SSPMs)
    facilitate efficient single-photon detection. We are attempting to improve their
    efficiency, previously limited to < 88% by coupling losses, via anti-reflection
    coatings, better electronics and cryogenics.
