Multimode Fiber Coupled Superconductor Nanowire Single-Photon Detector

High-performance superconductor nanowire single-photon detectors (SNSPDs) coupled by 50-μm multimode fiber were designed and fabricated for the purpose of space applications. Microlens coupling between multimode fiber and detector chip was proposed, resulting in coupling efficiency of 86%...
