Nanosecond gating of superconducting nanowire single-photon detectors using cryogenic bias circuitry
Thomas Hummel, Alex Widhalm, Jan Philipp HÖpker +7
Superconducting nanowire single-photon detectors (SNSPDs) show near unity efficiency, low dark count rate, and short recovery time. Combining these characteristics with temporal co…
Laser-lithographically written micron-wide superconducting nanowire single-photon detectors
Maximilian Protte, Varun B. Verma, Jan Philipp Höpker +3
We demonstrate the fabrication of micron-wide tungsten silicide superconducting nanowire single-photon detectors on a silicon substrate using laser lithography. We show saturated i…
Single-channel electronic readout of a multipixel superconducting nanowire single photon detector
Johannes Tiedau, Timon Schapeler, Vikas Anant +3
We present a time-over-threshold readout technique to count the number of activated pixels from an array of superconducting nanowire single photon detectors (SNSPDs). This techniqu…
Integrated transition edge sensors on lithium niobate waveguides
Jan Philipp Höpker, Thomas Gerrits, Adriana Lita +8
We show the proof-of-principle detection of light at 1550 nm coupled evanescently from a titanium in-diffused lithium niobate waveguide to a superconducting transition edge sensor.…
Towards integrated superconducting detectors on lithium niobate waveguides
Jan Philipp Höpker, Moritz Bartnick, Evan Meyer-Scott +15
Superconducting detectors are now well-established tools for low-light optics, and in particular quantum optics, boasting high-efficiency, fast response and low noise. Similarly, l…
