Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of light detection, and relates to a superconducting nanowire single-photon detector, in particular to a high-polarization extinction ratio and high-efficiency superconducting nanowire single-photon detector, in particular to a metal nanowire-based single-photon detector High polarization extinction ratio of wire and high efficiency superconducting nanowire single photon detector. Background technique [0002] Superconducting Nanowire Single Photon Detector (Superconducting Nanowire Single Photon Detector, SNSPD) is a new type of single photon detector, which can realize single photon detection from visible light band to infrared band. [0003] SNSPD generally works in a low temperature environment lower than 4K, and adds a bias current slightly smaller than the critical current. When a single photon is absorbed by a superconducting nanowire, the Cooper electron pairs are destroyed to generate a large numbe...
