Vac. Sci. Technol. B", year="2001", volume="19", number="6", pages="2766--2769", optkeywords="NbN SSPD; SNSPD", abstract="A novel superconducting single-photon detector (SSPD), intrinsically capable of high quantum efficiency (up to 20{\%}) over a wide spectral range (ultraviolet to infrared), with low dark counts (<1 cps), and fast (<40 ps) timing resolution, is described. This SSPD has been used to perform timing measurements on complementary metal--oxide--semiconductor integrated circuits (ICs) by detecting the infrared light emission from switching transistors. Measurements performed from the backside of a 0.13 $\mu$m geometry flip--chip IC are presented. Other potential applications for this detector are in telecommunications, quantum cryptography, biofluorescence, and chemical kinetics.", optnote="exported from refbase (https://db.rplab.ru/refbase/show.php?record=1542), last updated on Mon, 24 May 2021 13:26:32 -0500", issn="0734211X", doi="10.1116/1.1412899", opturl="http://scitation.aip.org/content/avs/journal/jvstb/19/6/10.1116/1.1412899", opturl="https://doi.org/10.1116/1.1412899" }
