Ser.: Mater. Sci. Eng. PY 2020 BP 012011 (1 to 5) VL 781 DI 10.1088/1757-899X/781/1/012011 DE WSi; NbN SSPD; SNSPD AB Spectral characteristics of WSi and NbN superconducting single-photon detectors with different surface resistance and width of nanowire strips have been investigated in the wavelength range of 1.3-2.5 μm. WSi structures with narrower strips demonstrated better performance for detection of single photons in longer wavelength range. The difference in normalized photon count rate for such structures reaches one order of magnitude higher in comparison with structures based on NbN thin films at 2.5 μm. ER
