Opto-electronic bias of a superconducting nanowire single photon detector using a cryogenic photodiode

Superconducting Nanowire Single Photon Detectors (SNSPDs) have become an integral part of quantum optics in recent years because of their high performance in single photon detection. We present a method to replace the electrical input by supplying the required bias current via the photocurrent of a...
