A single photon detection system for visible and infrared spectrum range

Alexander Divochiy, Marta Misiaszek, Yury Vakhtomin +4

We demonstrate niobium nitride based superconducting single-photon detectors sensitive in the spectral range 452 nm - 2300 nm. The system performance was tested in a real-life expe…

Superconducting nanowire photon number resolving detector at telecom wavelength

Aleksander Divochiy, Francesco Marsili, David Bitauld +12

The optical-to-electrical conversion, which is the basis of optical detectors, can be linear or nonlinear. When high sensitivities are needed single-photon detectors (SPDs) are use…
