The devices are superconducting and operate at temperature below 5 K. The physics of operation of our SPD is based on formation of a photon-induced resistive hotspot and subsequent appearance of a transient resistive barrier across an ultrathin and submicron-wide superconductor. %K NbN SSPD %K SNSPD %U https://cpfd.cnki.com.cn/Article/CPFDTOTAL-ZGCZ200206001790.htm
