Plasmonic 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 کاملImprovement 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 کاملSingle photon detector with high polarization sensitivity
Polarization is one of the key parameters of light. Most optical detectors are intensity detectors that are insensitive to the polarization of light. A superconducting nanowire single photon detector (SNSPD) is naturally sensitive to polarization due to its nanowire structure. Previous studies focused on producing a polarization-insensitive SNSPD. In this study, by adjusting the width and pitch...
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 کاملIntegrated atom detector: Single atoms and photon statistics
We demonstrate a robust fiber-optics-based fluorescence detector, fully integrated on an atom chip, which detects single atoms propagating in a guide with 66% efficiency. We characterize the detector performance and the atom flux by analyzing the photon statistics. Near-perfect photon antibunching proves that single atoms are detected, and allows us to study the second-order intensity correlati...
