A superconducting NbN detector for neutral nanoparticles.
We present a proof-of-principle study of superconducting single photon detectors (SSPD) for the detection of individual neutral molecules/nanoparticles at low energies. The new detector is applied to characterize a laser desorption source for biomolecules and allows retrieval of the arrival time distribution of a pulsed molecular beam containing the amino acid tryptophan, the polypeptide gramic...
متن کاملFiber-Coupled Single-photon deteCtorS baSed on nbn SuperConduCting nanoStruCtureS
LLE Review, Volume 106 108 Practical quantum cryptography (QC) systems require ultrafast and high-quantum-efficiency (QE) single-photon detectors (SPD’s)1 with precise timing characteristics2 and sufficiently low dark counts. For fiber-optic QC systems, SPD’s working at the standard near-infrared (NIR) telecommunication wavelengths, namely 1.3 nm and/or 1.55 nm, with counting rates well above 1...
متن کاملSignal amplification in NbN superconducting resonators via stochastic resonance
We exploit nonlinearity in NbN superconducting stripline resonators, which originates from local thermal instability, for studying stochastic resonance. As the resonators are driven into instability, small amplitude modulation (AM) signals are amplified with the aid of injected white noise. Simulation results based on the equations of motion for the system yield a good agreement with the experi...
متن کاملExtreme nonlinear phenomena in NbN superconducting stripline resonators
We study giant nonlinear phenomena that emerge near a bifurcation threshold (BT) in a microwave superconducting stripline resonator. Above the BT the system becomes astable and self-sustained modulation of the reflected power off the resonator occurs. The giant nonlinearity manifests itself in an extremely high intermodulation gain, accompanied by a very strong noise squeezing and period doubli...
متن کاملFar-infrared Magneto-optical Measurements of Superconducting NbN Layer
Temperature dependence of far-infrared transmission of thin layer NbN deposited on SiO2 substrate has been measured at frequencies 0.40, 0.65 and 2.52 THz. The zero magnetic field data are in agreement with previous measurements [Tesar et al., 2003]. Additionally, temperature dependent transmission at 0.40 THz for parallel and perpendicular magnetic field orientation with respect to NbN layer f...
