SPIE SP - 72360D (1 to 11) VL - 7236 PB - SPIE KW - PNR NbN SSPD KW - SNSPD KW - superconducting single-photon detectors KW - photon number resolving detectors KW - ultrathin NbN films AB - In this paper we present a review of the state-of-the-art superconducting single-photon detector (SSPD), its characterization and applications. 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.
