Low-jitter single-photon detector arrays integrated with silicon and aluminum nitride photonic chips

We present progress on a scalable scheme for integration of single-photon detectors with silicon and aluminum nitride photonic circuits. We assemble arrays of low-jitter waveguide-integrated single-photon detectors and show up to 24% system detection efficiency.
