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), Esmaeil Zadeh, I.Z. (author)We experimentally investigate the performance of NbTiN superconducting nanowire single photon detectors above the base temperature of a conventional Gifford-McMahon cryocooler (2.5 K). By tailoring design and thickness (8 - 13 nm) of the detectors, high performance, high operating temperature, single-photon detection from the visible to...journal article 2019
