abstract="Superconducting single-photon ultrathin NbN film detectors are studied. The development of manufacturing technology of detectors and the reduction of their operating temperature down to 2 K resulted in a considerable increase in their quantum efficiency, which reached in the visible region (at 0.56 $\mu$m) 30{\%}---40{\%}, i.e., achieved the limit determined by the absorption coefficient of the film. The quantum efficiency exponentially decreases with increasing wavelength, being equal to {\textasciitilde}20{\%} at 1.55 $\mu$m and {\textasciitilde}0.02{\%} at 5 $\mu$m. For the dark count rate of {\textasciitilde}10-4s-1, the experimental equivalent noise power was 1.5{\texttimes}10-20 W Hz-1/2; it can be decreased in the future down to the record low value of 5{\texttimes}10-21 W Hz-1/2. The time resolution of the detector is 30 ps.",
