Reduction of operation temperature to 1.6 K allowed us to measure quantum efficiency of {\textasciitilde}1 {\%} at 5.7 mum wavelength with the SSPD made from 4-nm-thick NbN film. In a pursuit of further performance improvement we endeavored SSPD fabricating from 4-nm-thick MoRe film as an alternative material. The MoRe film exhibited transition temperature of 7.7K, critical current density at 4.2 K temperature was 1.1times10 6 A/cm 2 , and diffusivity 1.73 cmVs. The single-photon response was observed with MoRe SSPD at 1.3 mum wavelength with quantum efficiency estimated to be 0.04{\%}.", optnote="exported from refbase (https://db.rplab.ru/refbase/show.php?record=1246), last updated on Sun, 16 May 2021 12:41:02 -0500", doi="10.1109/ICIMW.2007.4516419", opturl="https://doi.org/10.1109/ICIMW.2007.4516419" }
