The devices are characterized by experimental quantum efficiency of ~8% for infrared photons, counting rate ~2 GHz, 18 ps jitter, and <0.01 per second dark counts. %K SSPD %K QE %K jitter %K dark counts %R 10.1364/IQEC.2004.IThD1 %U http://www.osapublishing.org/abstract.cfm?URI=IQEC-2004-IThD1 %U https://doi.org/10.1364/IQEC.2004.IThD1 %P IThD1
