Design of NbN superconducting nanowire single photon detectors with enhanced infrared photon detection efficiency
Qiang Wang, Jelmer J. Renema, Andreas Engel +1
We propose an optimized design for nanowire superconducting single photon detectors, using the recently discovered position dependent detection efficiency in these devices. This kn…
Optically probing the detection mechanism in a molybdenum silicide superconducting nanowire single-photon detector
Misael Caloz, Boris Korzh, Nuala Timoney +7
We experimentally investigate the detection mechanism in a meandered molybdenum silicide (MoSi) superconducting nanowire single-photon detector by characterising the detection prob…
Probing the Hotspot Interaction Length in NbN Nanowire Superconducting Single-Photon Detectors
J. J. Renema, R. Gaudio, Q. Wang +3
We measure the maximal distance at which two absorbed photons can jointly trigger a detection event in NbN nanowire superconducting single photon detector (SSPD) microbridges by co…
Experimental investigation of the detection mechanism in WSi nanowire superconducting single photon detectors
Rosalinda Gaudio, Jelmer J. Renema, Zili Zhou +9
We use quantum detector tomography to investigate the detection mechanism in WSi nanowire superconducting single photon detectors (SSPDs). To this purpose, we fabricated a 250nm wi…
