Optimized 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 کاملNiobium Superconducting Nanowire Single-Photon Detectors
We investigate the performance of superconducting nanowire photon detectors fabricated from ultra-thin Nb. A direct comparison is made between these detectors and similar nanowire detectors fabricated from NbN. We find that Nb detectors are significantly more susceptible than NbN to thermal instability (latching) at high bias. We show that the devices can be stabilized by reducing the input res...
متن کاملMulti-element superconducting nanowire single photon detectors
Single-photon-detector arrays can provide unparalleled performance and detailed information in applications that require precise timing and single photon sensitivity. Such arrays have been demonstrated using a number of single-photon-detector technologies, but the high performance of superconducting nanowire single photon detectors (SNSPDs) and the unavoidable overhead of cryogenic cooling make...
متن کاملSuperconducting niobium nanowire single photon detectors
We have fabricated and tested single photon detectors based on a current biased superconducting niobium nanowire patterned into a meander. The detectors are fabricated from high quality, ultra high vacuum sputtered niobium thin films on a sapphire substrate. For detection of single optical photons, we show that the superconductor’s intrinsic kinetic inductance does not limit the reset time of t...
