  Title Ultrafast photoresponse of an YBa2Cu3O7-δ film to far-infrared radiation pulses Type Journal Article
  Year 1993 Publication Opt. Lett. Abbreviated Journal Opt. Lett.  
  Volume 18 Issue 2 Pages 96-97  
  Keywords YBCO HTS detectors  
  Abstract We report the observation of an ultrafast photoresponse of a high-T(c), film to far-infrared radiation pulses. The response of a sample, consisting of a current-carrying structured YBa(2)Cu(3)O(7-delta) film cooled to liquid-nitrogen temperature, was studied by use of ultrashort laser pulses from an optically pumped far-infrared laser in the frequency range from 0.7 to 7 THz. We found that the response time was limited by the time resolution, 120 ps, of our electronic registration equipment.

  Title Countermeasure against bright-light attack on superconducting nanowire single-photon detector in quantum key distribution Type Journal Article
  Year 2019 Publication Opt. Express Abbreviated Journal Opt. Express  
  Volume 27 Issue 21 Pages 30979-30988  
  Keywords SSPD, SNSPD  
  Abstract We present an active anti-latching system for superconducting nanowire single-photon detectors. We experimentally test it against a bright-light attack, previously used to compromise security of quantum key distribution. Although our system detects continuous blinding, the detector is shown to be partially blindable and controllable by specially tailored sequences of bright pulses. Improvements to the countermeasure are suggested.

  Title Potential of a superconducting photon counter for heterodyne detection at the telecommunication wavelength Type Journal Article
  Year 2016 Publication Opt. Express Abbreviated Journal Opt. Express  
  Volume 24 Issue 26 Pages 30474-30484  
  Keywords NbN SSPD mixer, SNSPD  
  Abstract Here, we report on the successful operation of a NbN thin film superconducting nanowire single-photon detector (SNSPD) in a coherent mode (as a mixer) at the telecommunication wavelength of 1550 nm. Providing the local oscillator power of the order of a few picowatts, we were practically able to reach the quantum noise limited sensitivity. The intermediate frequency gain bandwidth (also referred to as response or conversion bandwidth) was limited by the spectral band of a single-photon response pulse of the detector, which is proportional to the detector size. We observed a gain bandwidth of 65 MHz and 140 MHz for 7 x 7 microm2 and 3 x 3 microm2 devices, respectively. A tiny amount of the required local oscillator power and wide gain and noise bandwidths, along with unnecessary low noise amplification, make this technology prominent for various applications, with the possibility for future development of a photon counting heterodyne-born large-scale array.

  Title Absorption engineering of NbN nanowires deposited on silicon nitride nanophotonic circuits Type Journal Article
  Year 2013 Publication Opt. Express Abbreviated Journal Opt. Express  
  Volume 21 Issue 19 Pages 22683-22692  
  Keywords SSPD, SNSPD, NbN nanoeires, Si3N4 waveguides  
  Abstract We investigate the absorption properties of U-shaped niobium nitride (NbN) nanowires atop nanophotonic circuits. Nanowires as narrow as 20nm are realized in direct contact with Si3N4 waveguides and their absorption properties are extracted through balanced measurements. We perform a full characterization of the absorption coefficient in dependence of length, width and separation of the fabricated nanowires, as well as for waveguides with different cross-section and etch depth. Our results show excellent agreement with finite-element analysis simulations for all considered parameters. The experimental data thus allows for optimizing absorption properties of emerging single-photon detectors co-integrated with telecom wavelength optical circuits.

  Title Photon-counting optical coherence-domain reflectometry using superconducting single-photon detectors Type Journal Article
  Year 2008 Publication Opt. Express Abbreviated Journal Opt. Express  
  Volume 16 Issue 22 Pages 18118-18130  
  Keywords SSPD, SNSPD  
  Abstract We consider the use of single-photon counting detectors in coherence-domain imaging. Detectors operated in this mode exhibit reduced noise, which leads to increased sensitivity for weak light sources and weakly reflecting samples. In particular, we experimentally demonstrate the possibility of using superconducting single-photon detectors (SSPDs) for optical coherence-domain reflectometry (OCDR). These detectors are sensitive over the full spectral range that is useful for carrying out such imaging in biological samples. With counting rates as high as 100 MHz, SSPDs also offer a high rate of data acquisition if the light flux is sufficient.

  Title Submicron axial resolution in an ultrabroadband two-photon interferometer using superconducting single-photon detectors Type Journal Article
  Year 2008 Publication Opt. Express Abbreviated Journal Opt. Express  
  Volume 16 Issue 19 Pages 15104-15108  
  Keywords SSPD, SNSPD  
  Abstract We generate ultrabroadband biphotons via the process of spontaneous parametric down-conversion in a quasi-phase-matched nonlinear grating that has a linearly chirped poling period. Using these biphotons in conjunction with superconducting single-photon detectors (SSPDs), we measure the narrowest Hong-Ou-Mandel dip to date in a two-photon interferometer, having a full width at half maximum (FWHM) of approximately 5.7 fsec. This FWHM corresponds to a quantum optical coherence tomography (QOCT) axial resolution of 0.85 µm. Our results indicate that a high flux of nonoverlapping biphotons may be generated, as required in many applications of nonclassical light.

  Keywords SSPD, quantum efficiency  
  Abstract The detection regimes of a superconducting single-photon detector have been investigated. A technique is proposed for determining the regions in which “pure regimes” predominate. Based on experimental data, the dependences of the internal quantum efficiency on the bias current are determined in the one-, two-, and three-photon detection regimes.

  Title High-performance superconducting photon-number-resolving detectors with 86% system efficiency at telecom range Type Journal Article
  Year 2019 Publication J. Opt. Soc. Am. B Abbreviated Journal J. Opt. Soc. Am. B  
  Volume 36 Issue 3 Pages B20  
  Keywords NbN PNR SSPD, SNSPD  
  Abstract The use of improved fabrication technology, highly disordered NbN thin films, and intertwined section topology makes it possible to create high-performance photon-number-resolving superconducting single-photon detectors (PNR SSPDs) that are comparable to conventional single-element SSPDs at the telecom range. The developed four-section PNR SSPD has simultaneously an 86±3% system detection efficiency, 35 cps dark count rate, ∼2 ns dead time, and maximum 90 ps jitter. An investigation of the PNR SSPD’s detection efficiency for multiphoton events shows good uniformity across sections. As a result, such a PNR SSPD is a good candidate for retrieving the photon statistics for light sources and quantum key distribution systems.

  Keywords NbN SSPD, SNSPD, QKD, quantum cryptography  
  Abstract We have developed an ultrafast superconducting single-photon detector with negligible dark counting rate. The detector is based on an ultrathin, submicron-wide NbN meander-type stripe and can detect individual photons in the visible to near-infrared wavelength range at a rate of at least 10 Gb/s. The above counting rate allows us to implement the NbN device to unconditionally secret quantum key distRochester, New Yorkribution in a practical, high-speed system using real-time Vernam enciphering.
