Plasmonic structure integrated single-photon detectors for absorptance and polarization contrast maximization

Csete M., Szenes A., Maráczi D., Bánhelyi B., Csendes T., Szabó G., University of Szeged, HU

Superconducting nanowire single photon detectors (SNSPDs) are important for single-photon detection at 1550 nm infrared wavelength in quantum information processing (QIP), telecommunication and astronomy [1, 2]. Absorptance of single photons with a specific polarization has [...]

Simulation of Phonon Thermalization in a Single-photon Detector on the Basis of CeB6 Thermoelectric Sensor

Kuzanyan A.A., Kuzanyan V.R. Nikoghosyan A.S., Kuzanyan A.A., Kuzanyan V.R. Nikoghosyan A.S., Institute for Physical Research, Armenian Academy of Science, AM

Interest in single-photon detectors (SPD) has recently increased dramatically, due to many novel applications. The most developed SPD are currently based on superconductors. Following the theory, thermoelectric detectors (TSPS) can compete with superconducting detectors. The [...]
