Conoscopic interferometry for optimal acoustic pulse detection in ultrafast acoustics
Martin Robin, Ruben Guis, Mustafa Umit Arabul +3
Conoscopic interferometry is a promising detection technique for ultrafast acoustics. By focusing a probe beam through a birefringent crystal before passing it through a polarizer,…
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…

Ultrasensitive N-photon interferometric autocorrelator
Zili Zhou, Giulia Frucci, Francesco Mattioli +5
We demonstrate a novel method to measure the Nth-order (N=1, 2, 3, 4) interferometric autocorrelation with high sensitivity and temporal resolution. It is based on the combination…
Complete experimental characterization of a superconducting multiphoton nanodetector
J. J. Renema, G. Frucci, Z. Zhou +6
We present a complete method to characterize multiphoton detectors with a small overall detection efficiency. We do this by separating the nonlinear action of the multiphoton detec…
