Lett.", year="2018", volume="43", number="24", pages="6085--6088", abstract="We demonstrate niobium nitride based superconducting single-photon detectors sensitive in the spectral range 452-2300 nm. The system performance was tested in a real-life experiment with correlated photons generated by means of spontaneous parametric downconversion, where one photon was in the visible range and the other was in the infrared range. We measured a signal to noise ratio as high as 4x10(4) in our detection setting. A photon detection efficiency as high as 64{\%} at 1550 nm and 15{\%} at 2300 nm was observed.", optnote="https://arxiv.org/abs/1807.04273", optnote="exported from refbase (https://db.rplab.ru/refbase/show.php?record=1227), last updated on Sun, 04 Jul 2021 16:29:00 -0500", issn="0146-9592", doi="10.1364/OL.43.006085", opturl="https://www.osapublishing.org/ol/abstract.cfm?uri=ol-43-24-6085", opturl="https://doi.org/10.1364/OL.43.006085", language="English" }
