PY - 2007 DA - 2007// TI - Multi-element superconducting nanowire single-photon detector T2 - IEEE Trans. Appl. Supercond. JO - IEEE Trans. Appl. Supercond. SP - 279 EP - 284 VL - 17 IS - 2 KW - SSPD KW - SNSPD AB - A multi-element superconducting nanowire single photon detector (MESNSPD) is presented that consists of multiple independently-biased superconducting nanowire single photon detector (SNSPD) elements that form a continuous active area. A two-element SNSPD has been fabricated and tested, showing no measurable crosstalk between the elements, sub-50-ps relative timing jitter, and four times the maximum counting rate of a single SNSPD with the same active area. The MESNSPD can have a larger active area and higher speed than a single-element SNSPD and the input optics can be designed so that the detector provides spatial, spectral or photon number resolution.
