High performance superconducting nanowire single photon detectors operating at temperature from 4 to 7 K
Ronan Gourgues, Johannes W. N. Los, Julien Zichi +6
We experimentally investigate the performance of NbTiN superconducting nanowire single photon detectors above the base temperature of a conventional Gifford-McMahon cryocooler (2.5…
Photon counting with photon number resolution through superconducting nanowires coupled to a multi-channel TDC in FPGA
N. Lusardi, J. W. N. Los, R. B. M. Gourgues +2
The paper presents a system for measuring photon statistics and photon timing in the few-photon regime down to the single-photon level. The measurement system is based on supercond…
A single-photon detector with high efficiency and sub-10ps time resolution
Iman Esmaeil Zadeh, Johannes W. N. Los, Ronan B. M. Gourgues +4
The observation of fast physical dynamics using optical techniques currently relies on indirect methods, such as pump-probe measurements. One reason for this is the lack of an effi…
Single-photon detectors combining ultra-high efficiency, detection-rates, and timing resolution
Iman Esmaeil Zadeh, Johannes W. N. Los, Ronan B. M. Gourgues +5
Single-photon detection with high efficiency, high timing resolution, low dark counts and high photon detection-rates is crucial for a wide range of optical measurements. Although…
Design of broadband high-efficiency superconducting-nanowire single photon detectors
Luca Redaelli, Gabriele Bulgarini, Sergiy Dobrovolskiy +4
In this paper several designs to maximize the absorption efficiency of superconducting-nanowire single-photon detectors are investigated. Using a simple optical cavity consisting o…
