    Abstract: There is provided a single to differential conversion circuit including: a divider circuit, first and second bias current generators, first and second output terminals and a current generating circuit. The divider circuit receives an input current including a DC component and an AC component and divides the input current to generate a first current and a second current. The first bias current generator generates a first bias current. The first output terminal outputs a first output current depending on a difference between the first current and the first bias current. The current generating circuit generates a third current which has a sign opposite to the second current on the basis of the second current. The second bias current generator generates a second bias current. The second output terminal outputs a second output current depending on a difference between the third current and the second bias current.

    Abstract: According to an embodiment, a photon detector includes a photoelectric converter, a voltage supplier, a potential variation detector, and an adjustor. The photoelectric converter performs photoelectric conversion based on an incident photon and outputs current corresponding to number of photons. The voltage supplier supplies a voltage to the photoelectric converter. The potential variation detector detects potential variation of a cathode of the photoelectric converter. The adjustor adjusts a potential of an anode of the photoelectric converter based on the potential variation detected by the potential variation detector so that variation in a potential difference between the cathode and the anode of the photoelectric converter is reduced, and outputs current from the photoelectric converter to the outside.
