Free-space-coupled superconducting nanowire single-photon detectors for infrared optical communications

Free-space-coupled superconducting nanowire single-photon detectors for infrared optical communications

This paper describes the construction of a cryostat and an optical system with a free-space coupling efficiency of 56.5% ± 3.4% to a superconducting nanowire single-photon detector (SNSPD) for infrared quantum communication and spectrum analysis. A 1K pot decreases the ba...
