“…Different from similar models developed for superconducting nanowire single photon detectors (SNSPD) [10], [11] we have taken into account the parasitic capacitance of the SSLDs (C 1 -C 4 ) as the physical dimensions of the detectors are large and they have a ground plane underneath. The reason for using a ground plane under the SSLDs is that as the dimensions of the stripline are in the order of cm, transmission-like behavior is needed to enable pulse propagation over the SSLD.…”

SUMMARYOne of the fundamental problems in many-pixel detectors implemented in cryogenics environments is the number of bias and read-out wires. If one targets a megapixel range detector, number of wires should be significantly reduced. One possibility is that the detectors are serially connected and biased by using only one line and read-out is accomplished by on-chip circuitry. In addition to the number of pixels, the detectors should have fast response times, low dead times, high sensitivities, low inter-pixel crosstalk and ability to respond to simultaneous irradiations to individual pixels for practical purposes. We have developed an equivalent circuit model for a serially connected superconducting strip line detector (SSLD) array together with the read-out electronics. In the model we take into account the capacitive effects due to the ground plane under the detector, effects of the shunt resistors fabricated under the SSLD layer, low pass filters placed between the individual pixels that enable individual operation of each pixel and series resistors that prevents the DC bias current flowing to the read-out electronics as well as adjust the time constants of the inductive SSLD loop. We explain the results of investigation of the following parameters: Crosstalk between the neighbor pixels, response to simultaneous irradiation, dead times, L/R time constants, low pass filters, and integration with the SFQ front-end circuit. Based on the simulation results, we show that SSLDs are promising devices for detecting a wide range of incident radiation such as neurons, X-rays and THz waves in many-pixel configurations.

“…It should be noted that the triggering probability is very low in this mode of operation. Alternately, photon number resolution can be achieved in SNSPDs by spatial multiplexing (using multiple pixels) [29][30][31] or by time multiplexing (this article, § 3.3). In summary, a SNSPD, biased close to its critical current, exhibits a binary behavior by outputting an electronic pulse (1-click) or none (no-click) in the presence or absence of photon(s).…”

Quantum detector tomography allows the positive-operatorvalued measure (POVM) of a single-photon detector to be determined. We use an all-fiber telecom wavelength detector tomography test bed to measure detector characteristics with respect to photon flux and polarization, and hence determine the POVM. We study the SNSPD both as a binary detector and in an 8-bin, fiber based, Time-Multiplexed (TM) configuration at repetition rates up to 4 MHz. The corresponding POVMs provide an accurate picture of the photon number resolving capability of the TM-SNSPD. distribution over a 40-dB channel loss using superconducting single-photon detectors," Nat.

“…This enables the measurement of the g (2) (τ) with a very compact integrated device and represents the first step towards integrated photon-number-resolving detectors [15,16]. We report the polarization-independent response of the integrated nanowires and a detailed study of their mutual coupling, showing no measurable static and dynamic crosstalk.…”

Abstract:We demonstrate an integrated autocorrelator based on two superconducting single-photon detectors patterned on top of a GaAs ridge waveguide. This device enables the on-chip measurement of the secondorder intensity correlation function g (2) (τ). A polarization-independent device quantum efficiency in the 1% range is reported, with a timing jitter of 88 ps at 1300 nm. g (2) (τ) measurements of continuous-wave and pulsed laser excitations are demonstrated with no measurable crosstalk within our measurement accuracy.
