Photon Switching Statistics in Multistrip Superconducting Single-Photon Detectors
IEEE Transactions on Applied Superconductivity. 2018. Vol. 28. No. 7. P. 1-4.
In press
We study photon count statistics in superconducting
single-photon detectors (SSPD) consisting of up to 70 narrow superconducting strips connected in parallel. Using inter-arrival
time analysis we demonstrate that our samples are operated in ‘arm-trigger’ regime and require up to 7 subsequently absorbed photons to form a resistive state in the whole sample. We also performed numerical simulation of the light and dark count rates vs detector bias current which are in good agreement with the experimental results.
Keywords: single-photon detectors

We perform measurements of the switching current distributions of three w nm wide, 4 nm thick NbN superconducting strips which are used for single-photon detectors. These strips are much wider than the diameter of the vortex cores, so they are classified as quasi-two-dimensional (quasi-2D). We discover evidence of macroscopic quantum tunneling by observing the saturation ...

Photonic quantum technologies allow quantum phenomena to be exploited in applications such as quantum cryptography, quantum simulation and quantum computation. A key requirement for practical devices is the scalable integration of single-photon sources, detectors and linear optical elements on a common platform. Nanophotonic circuits enable the realization of complex linear optical systems, while non-classical light ...

We use an external magnetic field to probe the detection mechanism of a superconducting nanowire single-photon detector. We argue that the hot belt model (which assumes partial suppression of the superconducting order parameter Delta across the whole width of the superconducting nanowire after absorption of the photon) does not explain observed weak-field dependence of the ...

Ultrafast single-photon detectors with high efficiency are of utmost importance for many applications in the context of integrated quantum photonic circuits. Detectors based on superconductor nanowires attached to optical waveguides are particularly appealing for this purpose. However, their speed is limited because the required high absorption efficiency necessitates long nanowires deposited on top of the ...

A thorough spectral study of the intrinsic single-photon detection efficiency in superconducting TaN and NbN nanowires with different widths has been performed. The experiment shows that the cut-off of the intrinsic detection efficiency at near-infrared wavelengths is most likely controlled by the local suppression of the barrier for vortex nucleation around the absorption site. Beyond ...

In this paper we present measurements and comparison of SPP propagation length at the practically important telecom wavelength (1560 nm) as well as in the near-infrared and visible spectral ranges. The measurements were carried out for plane SPP waves excited on Ag film surface using optical microscopy of SPP waves in the far field. We ...

We study analytically and numerically the distribution of granular temperatures in granular mixtures for
different dissipation mechanisms of inelastic inter-particle collisions. Both driven and force-free systems
are analyzed. We demonstrate that the simplified model of a constant restitution coefficient fails to
predict even qualitatively a granular temperature distribution in a homogeneous cooling state. At the
same time we reveal ...

To obtain a correct estimate of the microhardness dependence on the size of nanocrystals, the microhardness
of amorphous-nanocrystalline samples with the same fraction of the crystalline phase and the same
composition of the amorphous matrix but different sizes of nanocrystals was studied. It is shown that the
dependence of microhardness on the nanocrystal size in the size range ...

Single crystal of TlCl was doped with NIR photoluminescent univalent bismuth cations by prolonged immersion in liquid bismuth metal. The ion exchange Tl+ + Bi0 ↔ Tl0 + Bi+ at the crystal surface with subsequent Bi+ migration to the bulk are expected to drive the doping process. Contrary with Bi‐doped TlCl crystals, grown by Bridgman method, the ion exchange does ...

Theoretical models of the conformational behavior of flexible polymer chains in mixed solvents enunciated in the world literature during the last decade are critically reviewed. Models describing different mechanisms of coil-to-globule transitions in a good solvent induced by cosolvent addition are highlighted.

Spectral characteristics of WSi and NbN superconducting single-photon detectors with different surface resistance and width of nanowire strips have been investigated in the wavelength range of 1.3-2.5 µm. WSi structures with narrower strips demonstrated better performance for detection of single photons in longer wavelength range. The difference in normalized photon count rate for such structures ...

We have studied and optimized conditions for spontaneous flux growth of TbCr3(BO3)4 crystals.
Phase relations in the pseudoternary system TbCr3(BO3)4–K2Mo3O10–B2O3 have been studied in the temperature
range 900–1130°C and the single-phase terbium chromium borate crystallization field has been
mapped out. It has been shown that increasing the TbCr3(BO3)4 content of the starting high-temperature
solution leads to a rhombohedral-to-monoclinic phase ...

The framework of simple opposition realism - anti-realism is not enough to analyze the views on the reality of unobservable objects of quantum theory. First, it is necessary to distinguish between realism in relation to the theory and realism in relation to the theory’s objects. Secondly, realism in relation to classical objects can be combined, ...

In this short review, we first discuss the results, which are mainly devoted to the generalizations of the famous Kohn–Luttinger mechanism of superconductivity in purely repulsive fermion systems at low electron densities. In the context of repulsive-U Hubbard model and Shubin–Vonsovsky model we consider briefly the superconducting phase diagrams and the symmetries of the order parameter ...

The integer quantum Hall effect is a well-studied phenomenon at frequencies below about 100 Hz. The plateaus in high-frequency Hall conductivity were experimentally proven to retain up to 33 GHz, but the behavior at higher frequencies has remained largely unexplored.
