A NbTiN superconducting nanowire single photon detector (SNSPD) on a silicon-on-insulator substrate

Single photon detectors are essential part of most optical quantum information applications. Among all candidates, superconducting nanowire single photon detectors (SNSPD) have the advantages of low jitter, low dark count rates and high maximum count rate. Commercial systems based on these detector...
