Fiber-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...

LLE Review, Volume 115 153 Introduction Fast and reliable single-photon detectors (SPD’s) have become a highly sought after technology in recent years.1 Some of the most interesting applications for SPD’s, which include quantum communications and quantum key distribution,2 as well as satellite communications, require devices that can successfully operate at telecommunication wavelengths, namely...
متن کاملOptical properties of superconducting nanowire single-photon detectors.
We measured the optical absorptance of superconducting nanowire single photon detectors. We found that 200-nm-pitch, 50%-fill-factor devices had an average absorptance of 21% for normally-incident front-illumination of 1.55-microm-wavelength light polarized parallel to the nanowires, and only 10% for perpendicularly-polarized light. We also measured devices with lower fill-factors and narrower ...
متن کاملProperties of Cascade Switch Superconducting Nanowire Single Photon Detectors
Superconducting nanowire single photon detectors have been realized using an innovative photon induced cascade switch of parallel nanowires. We demonstrate that this configuration allows, at the same time, a fast response and a large active area, with the additional advantage of signal pulses with a larger signal to noise ratio. These improvements are obtained maintaining the good quantum effic...
