Improvement of infrared single-photon detectors absorptance by integrated plasmonic structures
Plasmonic structures open novel avenues in photodetector development. Optimized illumination configurations are reported to improve p-polarized light absorptance in superconducting-nanowire single-photon detectors (SNSPDs) comprising short- and long-periodic niobium-nitride (NbN) stripe-patterns. In OC-SNSPDs consisting of ~quarter-wavelength dielectric layer closed by a gold reflector the high...
متن کاملOptimized Superconducting Nanowire Single Photon Detectors to Maximize Absorptance
Dispersion characteristics of four types of superconducting nanowire single photon detectors, nano-cavity-array-(NCA-), nano-cavity-deflector-array-(NCDA-), nano-cavity-double-deflectorarray-(NCDDA-) and nano-cavity-trench-array-(NCTA-) integrated (A-SNSPD) devices were optimized in three periodicity intervals commensurate with half-, three-quarterand one surface plasmon polariton wavelength. T...
متن کاملPlasmonic Structure Integrated Single-Photon Detector Configurations to Improve Absorptance and Polarization Contrast
Configurations capable of maximizing both the absorption component of system detection efficiency and the achievable polarization contrast were determined for 1550 nm polarized light illumination of different plasmonic structure integrated superconducting nanowire single-photon detectors (SNSPDs) consisting of p = 264 nm and P = 792 nm periodic niobium nitride (NbN) patterns on silica substrate...
متن کاملSuperconducting nanowire single-photon detectors integrated with optical nano-antennae.
Optical nano-antennae have been integrated with semiconductor lasers to intensify light at the nanoscale and photodiodes to enhance photocurrent. In quantum optics, plasmonic metal structures have been used to enhance nonclassical light emission from single quantum dots. Absorption and detection of single photons from free space could also be enhanced by nanometallic antennae, but this has not ...
