Abstract

Practical requirements of state-of-the-art quantum optics and photonics stimulate further improvement of superconducting single-photon detectors in the direction of increased area and detector arrays. Superconducting micron-wide strips capable to detect single photons are the way to develop large-area detector suitable for efficient
coupling to free space and multi-mode fibres. Such a detector should combine high detection efficiency, detection rate and low dark counts.
In this work we present the results of the experimental research into single-photon detection mechanism of visible and infrared light in thin superconducting polycrystalline NbN and amorphous MoSi micron-wide strips, in which
critical current close to Ginzburg – Landau depairing current can be reached. The results are used for the research and development of large-area detector for quantum optics, photonics, and quantum computing with photons.
