Quantum efficiency of 30%, dark count rate 3/spl times/10/sup -4/ s/sup -1/, and NEP=10/sup -20/ W/Hz/sup -1/2/ have been measured at the 1.3-/spl mu/m wavelength for the device operating at 2.0 K. %K NbN SSPD %K SNSPD %R 10.1109/ICIMW.2004.1422163 %U https://doi.org/10.1109/ICIMW.2004.1422163 %P 461-462
