Afterpulsing and instability in superconducting nanowire avalanche photodetectors

We investigated the reset time of superconducting nanowire avalanche photodetectors (SNAPs) based on 30 nm wide nanowires. We studied the dependence of the reset time of SNAPs on the device inductance and discovered that SNAPs can provide a speed-up relative to superconducting nanowire single-photon...
