We study the dependence of photon count and dark count rates on bias current in magnetic fields up to 113 mT at 1.7 K temperature. The observed behavior of photon counts is similar to the one recently observed in NbN SSPDs. Our results show that the detecting mechanism of relatively high-energy photons does not involve the vortex penetration from the edges of the film, and on the contrary, the detecting mechanism of low-energy photons probably involves the vortex penetration from the film edges.", optnote="exported from refbase (https://db.rplab.ru/refbase/show.php?record=991), last updated on Thu, 13 May 2021 00:05:35 -0500", doi="10.1109/TASC.2014.2376892", opturl="https://doi.org/10.1109/TASC.2014.2376892" }
