Title Fluctuation-dissipative phenomena in a narrow superconducting channel carrying current below critical Type Journal Article
Year 2009 Publication arXiv Abbreviated Journal
Volume 0910.2659v1 Issue Pages 1-4
Keywords superconducting nanowire, resistance calculation
Abstract The theory of current transport in a narrow superconducting channel accounting for thermal fluctuations is developed. These fluctuations result in the appearance of small but finite dissipation in the sample. The value of corresponding voltage is found as the function of temperature (close to transition temperature) and arbitrary bias current. It is demonstrated that the value of the activation energy (exponential factor in the Arrenius law) when current approaches to the critical one is proportional to (1-J/Jc)^(5/4). This result is in concordance with the one for the affine phenomenon of the Josephson current decay due to the thermal phase fluctuations, where the activation energy proportional (1-J/J_c)^(3/2)(the difference in the exponents is related to the additional current dependence of the order parameter). Found dependence of the activation energy on current explains the enormous discrepancy between the theoretically predicted before and the experimentally observed broadening of the resistive transition.

Title Phase-locking of a 2.7-THz quantum cascade laser to a microwave reference Type Journal Article
Year 2009 Publication Optics Letters Abbreviated Journal
Volume 34 Issue Pages 2958-2960
Keywords
Abstract We demonstrate the phase locking of a 2.7 THz metal–metal waveguide quantum cascade laser (QCL) to an external microwave signal. The reference is the 15th harmonic, generated by a semiconductor superlattice nonlinear device, of a signal at 182 GHz, which itself is generated by a multiplier chain (X12) from a

microwave synthesizer at ~ 15 GHz. Both laser and reference radiations are coupled into a bolometer mixer, resulting in a beat signal, which is fed into a phase-lock loop. The spectral analysis of the beat signal con-firms that the QCL is phase locked. This result opens the possibility to extend heterodyne interferometers into the far-infrared range.

Title Single-photon detectors for the visible and infrared parts of the spectrum based on NbN nanostructures Type Abstract
Year 2009 Publication Proc. Progress In Electromagnetics Research Symp. Abbreviated Journal Proc. Progress In Electromagnetics Research Symp.
Volume Issue Pages 863-864
Keywords SSPD, SNSPD
Abstract The research by the group of Moscow State Pedagogical University into the hot-electron phenomena in thin superconducting films has led to the development of new types ofdetectors [1, 2] and their use both in fundamental and applied studies [3–6]. In this paper, wepresent the results of the development and fabrication of receiving systems for the visible andinfrared parts of the spectrum optimised for use in telecommunication systems and quantumcryptography.

Title Impedance model for the polarization-dependent optical absorption of superconducting single-photon detectors Type Journal Article
Year 2009 Publication Eur. Phys. J. Appl. Phys. Abbreviated Journal
Volume 47 Issue Pages 10701
Keywords SSPD, SNSPD
Abstract We measured the single-photon detection efficiency of NbN superconducting single-photon detectors as a function of the polarization state of the incident light for different wavelengths in the range from 488 nm to 1550 nm. The polarization contrast varies from ~% at 488 nm to~0% at 1550 nm, in good agreement with numerical calculations. We use an optical-impedance model to describe the absorption for polarization parallel to the wires of the detector. For the extremely lossy NbN material, the absorption can be kept constant by keeping the product of layer thickness and filling factor constant. As a consequence, the maximum possible absorption is independent of filling factor. By illuminating the detector through the substrate, an absorption efficiency of ~0% can be reached for a detector on Si or GaAs, without the need for an optical cavity.
