Eight-fold signal amplification of a superconducting nanowire single-photon detector using a multiple-avalanche architecture

Eight-fold signal amplification of a superconducting nanowire single-photon detector using a multiple-avalanche architecture

Superconducting nanowire avalanche single-photon detectors (SNAPs) with n parallel nanowires are advantageous over single-nanowire detectors because their output signal amplitude scales linearly with n. However, the SNAP architecture has not been viably demonstrated for n > 4. To increase n for l...
