What are Superconducting Nanowire Single Photon Detectors (SNSPDs)?
Superconducting Nanowire Single Photon Detectors (SNSPDs) are highly sensitive photodetectors capable of detecting individual photons with exceptional timing precision and efficiency. They operate at cryogenic temperatures, typically below 4 Kelvin, and utilize a thin, superconducting nanowire patterned into a meandering geometry to achieve high detection efficiency.
