PY - 2005 DA - 2005// TI - NbN superconducting single-photon detector coupled with a communication fiber JO - Elektronika : konstrukcje, technologie, zastosowania SP - 51 EP - 52 VL - 46 IS - 6 KW - NbN SSPD KW - SNSPD AB - We present novel superconducting single-photon detectors (SSPDs), ba­sed on ultrathin NbN films, designed for fiber-based quantum communica­tions (lambda = 1.3 žm and 1.55 žm). For fiber-based operation, our SSPDs contain a special micromechanical construction integrated with the NbN structure, which enables efficient and mechanically very stabile fiber coupling. The detectors combine GHz counting rate, high quantum efficiency and very low level of dark counts. At 1.3 - 1.55 žm wavelength range our detector exhibits a quantum efficiency up to 10%.
