Title Technology development of resonator-based structures for efficiency increasing of NBN detectors of IR single photons Type Journal Article
Year 2016 Publication (up) Proc. 5th Int. Conf. Photonics and Information Optics Abbreviated Journal Proc. 5th Int. Conf. Photonics and Information Optics
Volume Issue Pages 115-116
Keywords NbN SSPD
Abstract This paper presents a technology of fabrication of NbN superconductive single- photon detectors, using resonator structures. The main results are related to optimization of the process of NbN sputtering over substrate with metallic mirrors and SiO 2 /Si 3 N 4 layers /4 thick. Investigation of the quantum efficiency of fabricated devices at 1.6 K on 1.55 μm showed triple-magnified value compared to standard Si/NbN structures.

Title Development of disordered ultra-thin superconducting vanadium nitride films Type Conference Article
Year 2019 Publication (up) Proc. 8th Int. Conf. Photonics and Information Optics Abbreviated Journal Proc. 8th Int. Conf. Photonics and Information Optics
Volume Issue Pages 425-426
Keywords VN films
Abstract We present the results of development and research of superconducting vanadium nitride VN films ~10 nm thick having different level of disorder. It is showed that both silicon substrate temperature T sub in process of magnetron sputtering and total gas pressure P affect superconducting transition temperature of sputtered films and R 300 /R 20 ratio defining their level of disorder. VN films suitable for development of superconducting single-photon detectors on their basis are obtained.

Title Photon-number-resolving SSPDs with system detection efficiency over 50% at telecom range Type Conference Article
Year 2018 Publication (up) Proc. AIP Conf. Abbreviated Journal
Volume 1936 Issue 1 Pages 020019
Keywords NbN PNR SSPD, SNSPD
Abstract We used technology of making high-efficiency superconducting single-photon detectors as a basis for improvement of photon-number-resolving devices. By adding optical cavity and using an improved NbN superconducting film, we enhanced previously reported system detection efficiency at telecom range for such detectors. Our results show that implementation of optical cavity helps to develop four-section device with quantum efficiency over 50% at 1.55 µm. Performed experimental studies of detecting multi-photon optical pulses showed irregularities over defining multi-photon through single-photon quantum efficiency.

Title Influence of sheet resistance and strip width on the detection efficiency saturation in micron-wide superconducting strips and large-area meanders Type Journal Article
Year 2021 Publication (up) Supercond. Sci. Technol. Abbreviated Journal Supercond. Sci. Technol.
Volume 34 Issue 8 Pages 084001
Keywords NbN SSPD, SMSPD
Abstract We report our study of detection efficiency (DE) saturation in wavelength range 400 – 1550 nm for the NbN Superconducting Microstrip Single-Photon Detectors (SMSPD) featuring the strip width up to 3 μm. We observe an expected decrease of the $DE$ saturation plateau with the increase of photon wavelength and decrease of film sheet resistance. At 1.7 K temperature DE saturation can be clearly observed at 1550 nm wavelength in strip with the width up to 2 μm when sheet resistance of the film is above 630Ω/sq. In such strips the length of the saturation plateau almost does not depend on the strip width. We used these films to make meander-shaped detectors with the light sensitive area from 20×20μm2 to a circle 50 μm in diameter. In the latter case, the detector with the strip width of 0.49 μm demonstrates saturation of DE up to 1064 nm wavelength. Although DE at 1310 and 1550 nm is not saturated, it is as high as 60%. The response time is limited by the kinetic inductance and equals to 20 ns(by 1/e decay), timing jitter is 44 ps. When coupled to multi-mode fibre large-area meanders demonstrate significantly higher dark count rate which we attribute to thermal background photons, thus advanced filtering technique would be required for practical applications.
