(author), Groeblacher, S. (author), Pereira, S.F. (author), Bhaskaran, Harish (author), Esmaeil Zadeh, I.Z. (author)Integrated photonic platforms have proliferated in recent years, each demonstrating its unique strengths and shortcomings. Given the processing incompatibilities of different platforms, a formidable challenge in the field of integrated photonics still remains for combining the strengths of different optical materials in one hybrid integrated...journal article 2023

Chang, J. (author), Los, Johannes W.N. (author), Gourgues, Ronan (author), Steinhauer, Stephan (author), Dorenbos, S.N. (author), Pereira, S.F. (author), Urbach, Paul (author), Zwiller, Val (author), Esmaeil Zadeh, I.Z. (author)Shortly after their inception, superconducting nanowire single-photon detectors (SNSPDs) became the leading quantum light detection technology. With the capability of detecting single-photons with near-unity efficiency, high time resolution, low dark count rate, and fast recovery time, SNSPDs outperform conventional single-photon detection...journal article 2022

(author), Urbach, Paul (author), Zwiller, V. (author), Dorenbos, S.N. (author), Esmaeil Zadeh, I.Z. (author)Single photon detectors are indispensable tools in optics, from fundamental measurements to quantum information processing. The ability of superconducting nanowire single photon detectors (SNSPDs) to detect single photons with unprecedented efficiency, short dead time, and high time resolution over a large frequency range enabled major...journal article 2021

(author), Zwiller, Val (author), Dorenbos, S.N. (author)A broad range of scientific and industrial disciplines require precise optical measurements at very low light levels. Single-photon detectors combining high efficiency and high time resolution are pivotal in such experiments. By using relatively thick films of NbTiN (8-11 nm) and improving the pattern fidelity of the nanostructure of the...journal article 2020

(author), Urbach, Paul (author), Zwiller, Val (author)In the past decade, superconducting nanowire single-photon detectors (SNSPDs) have gradually become an indispensable part of any demanding quantum optics experiment. Until now, most SNSPDs have been coupled to single-mode fibers. SNSPDs coupled to multimode fibers have shown promising efficiencies but have yet to achieve high time resolution....journal article 2019
