Book Synopsis Technology and readout for scaling up superconducting nanowire single-photon detectors by : Knehr, Emanuel Marius
Download or read book Technology and readout for scaling up superconducting nanowire single-photon detectors written by Knehr, Emanuel Marius. This book was released on 2023-03-02. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This work presents three advances to scale SNSPDs from few-pixel devices to large detector arrays: atomic layer deposition for the fabrication of uniform superconducting niobium nitride films of few-nanometer thickness, a frequency-multiplexing scheme to operate multiple detectors with a reduced number of lines, and the integration of SNSPDs with free-form polymer structures to achieve efficient optical coupling onto the active area of the detectors.
