A distributed electrical model for superconducting nanowire single photon detectors

© 2018 Author(s). To analyze the switching dynamics and output performance of a superconducting nanowire single photon detector (SNSPD), the nanowire is usually modelled as an inductor in series with a time-varying resistor induced by the absorption of a photon. Our recent experimental results show...
