(author) We measured the single-photon detection efficiency of NbN superconducting single-photon detectors as a function of the polarization state of the incident light for different wavelengths in the range from 488 nm to 1550 nm. The polarization contrast varies from ?5% at 488 nm to ?30% at 1550 nm, in good agreement with numerical calculations. We...
