Lett. PY 2009 BP 3607 EP 3609 VL 34 IS 23 DE SNSPD AB We developed a fiber-coupled superconducting nanowire single-photon detector system in a close-cycled cryocooler and achieved 24% and 22% system detection efficiencies at wavelengths of 1550 and 1315 nm, respectively. The maximum dark count rate was ~1000 counts/s. ER
