A Single-Photon Imager Based on Microwave Plasmonic Superconducting Nanowire
Qing-Yuan Zhao, Di Zhu, Niccolò Calandri +6
Detecting spatial and temporal information of individual photons by using single-photon-detector (SPD) arrays is critical to applications in spectroscopy, communication, biological…
Free space-coupled superconducting nanowire single photon detectors for infrared optical communications
Francesco Bellei, Alyssa P. Cartwright, Adam N. McCaughan +4
This paper describes the construction of a cryostat and an optical system with a free-space coupling efficiency of 56.5% +/- 3.4% to a superconducting nanowire single-photon detect…
Infrared Transmissometer to Measure the Thickness of NbN Thin Films
Kristen A. Sunter, Andrew E. Dane, Christopher I. Lang +1
We present an optical setup that can be used to characterize the thicknesses of thin NbN films to screen samples for fabrication and to better model the performance of the resultin…
