Abstract: Achievement of the ultimate sensitivity along with a high spectral resolution is one of the frequently addressed problems, as the complication of the applied and fundamental scientific tasks being explored is growing up gradually. In our work, we have investigated performance of a superconducting nanowire photon-counting detector operating in the coherent mode for detection of weak signals at the telecommunication wavelength. Quantum-noise limited sensitivity of the detector was ensured by the nature of the photon-counting detection and restricted by the quantum efficiency of the detector only. Spectral resolution given by the heterodyne technique and was defined by the linewidth and stability of the Local Oscillator (LO). Response bandwidth was found to coincide with the detector’s pulse width, which, in turn, could be controlled by the nanowire length. In addition, the system noise bandwidth was shown to be governed by the electronics/lab equipment, and the detector noise bandwidth is predicted to depend on its jitter. As have been demonstrated, a very small amount of the LO power (of the order of a few picowatts down to hundreds of femtowatts) was required for sufficient detection of the test signal, and eventual optimization could lead to further reduction of the LO power required, which would perfectly suit for the foreseen development of receiver matrices and the need for detection of ultra-low signals at a level of less-than-one-photon per second.

Abstract: Further development of quantum emitter based communication and sensing applications intrinsically depends on the availability of robust single-photon detectors. Here, we demonstrate a new generation of superconducting single-photon detectors specifically optimized for the 500–1100 nm wavelength range, which overlaps with the emission spectrum of many interesting solid-state atom-like systems, such as nitrogen-vacancy and silicon-vacancy centers in diamond. The fabricated detectors have a wide dynamic range (up to 350 million counts per second), low dark count rate (down to 0.1 counts per second), excellent jitter (62 ps), and the possibility of on-chip integration with a quantum emitter. In addition to performance characterization, we tested the detectors in real experimental conditions involving nanodiamond nitrogen-vacancy emitters enhanced by a hyperbolic metamaterial.

Abstract: В третий том книги «Программирование: введение в профессию» вошли части V–VIII. В части V рассматриваются системные вызовы для ввода-вывода, управление процессами, механизмы взаимодействия процессов, такие как сигналы и каналы, а также понятие терминала и связанные с ним явления, в том числе сеансы и группы процессов, виртуальные терминалы, управление дисциплиной линии. Часть VI посвящена компьютерным сетям; даётся небольшой обзор протоколов, используемых в сети Интернет, рассмотрена подсистема сокетов и событийно-ориентированное построение серверных программ. В части VII рассматриваются вопросы, связанные с разделяемыми данными, критические секции, взаимоисключение; даются базовые сведения о библиотеке pthread. Часть VIII содержит ряд сведений о внутреннем устройстве операционной системы; в частности, рассматриваются различные модели виртуальной памяти, подсистема ввода-вывода и т.п.
