Subwavelength photon sorting in photodetection systems with a narrow spectral bandwidth has remained elusive. The authors spectrally sort and detect photons by suppressing the near-field interaction and maximizing the far-field interactions between photodetector elements, achieving a spectral separation of 30 nm.
