We also present here the next step in the development of SSPD, i.e. photon-number resolving SSPD which simultaneously features GHz counting rate. We have demonstrated resolution up to 4 photons with quantum efficiency of 2.5{\%} and 300~ps response pulse duration providing very short dead time.", optnote="exported from refbase (https://db.rplab.ru/refbase/show.php?record=1403), last updated on Fri, 14 May 2021 22:02:04 -0500", doi="10.1117/12.808313", opturl="https://doi.org/10.1117/12.808313" }
