abstract="Time resolution is one of the main characteristics of the single photon detectors besides quantum efficiency and dark count rate. We demonstrate here an ultrafast time-correlated single photon counting (TCSPC) setup consisting of a newly developed single photon counting board SPC-150NX and a superconducting NbN single photon detector with a sensitive area of 7 {\texttimes} 7 $\mu$m. The combination delivers a record instrument response function with a full width at half maximum of 17.8 ps and system quantum efficiency {\textasciitilde}5{\%} at wavelength of 1560 nm. A calculation of the root mean square value of the timing jitter for channels with counts more than 1{\%} of the peak value yielded about 7.6 ps. The setup has also good timing stability of the detector--TCSPC board.",
