Influence of Material and Geometry on the Performance of Superconducting Nanowire Single-Photon Detectors: Dissertationsschrift (Karlsruher Schriftenreihe zur Supraleitung) - Softcover

Inhaltsangabe

Superconducting Nanowire Single-Photon Detectors offer the capability to detect electromagnetic waves on a single photon level in a wavelength range that far exceeds that of alternative detector types. However, above a certain threshold wavelength, the efficiency of those detectors decreases stronlgy, leading to a poor performance in the far-infrared range. Influences on this threshold are studied and approaches for improvement are verified experimentally by measurement of the device performance.
