Journal ArticleDOI

Picosecond superconducting single-photon optical detector

TL;DR: In this article, a supercurrent-assisted hotspot-formation mechanism for ultrafast detection and counting of visible and infrared photons is presented, where a photon-induced hotspot leads to a temporary formation of a resistive barrier across the superconducting sensor strip and results in an easily measurable voltage pulse.
Journal ArticleDOI

Detection efficiency of large-active-area NbN single-photon superconducting detectors in the ultraviolet to near-infrared range

TL;DR: In this article, the spectral sensitivity of superconducting NbN thin-film single-photon detectors (SPDs) is investigated and the spectral dependences of the detection efficiency at the 0.4 to 3.0-μm-wavelength range are presented.
Journal ArticleDOI

Sensitivity and gigahertz counting performance of NbN superconducting single-photon detectors

TL;DR: In this article, the authors measured the quantum efficiency (QE), GHz counting rate, jitter, and noise-equivalent power (NEP) of nanostructured NbN superconducting single-photon detectors (SSPDs) in the visible to infrared radiation range.
Journal ArticleDOI

Hot-electron effect in superconductors and its applications for radiation sensors

TL;DR: In this article, the main aspects of nonequilibrium hot-electron phenomena in superconductors and various theoretical models developed to describe the hotelectron effect are discussed, and the most successful practical devices such as terahertz mixers and direct intensity detectors for far-infrared radiation are presented.
Journal ArticleDOI

Picosecond hot-electron energy relaxation in NbN superconducting photodetectors

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors reported time-resolved characterization of superconducting NbN hot-electron photodetectors using an electro-optic sampling method.
