Abstract

The invention relates to a superconducting optical detector based on silicon-based etching and optical fiber alignment method and device. The first substrate is etched, an optical fiber position through hole is formed, and a plurality of first marks arranged at intervals are prepared on the surface of the first substrate; a relative position relationship is formed between the plurality of first marks and the optical fiber position through hole. When the single-photon absorption film is prepared on the surface of the second substrate, the second substrate is used as a substrate of the superconducting single-photon detector, and the superconducting single-photon detector is prepared by adopting a preparation process of the superconducting single-photon detector. At this time, a relative position relationship is formed between the plurality of second marks and the single-photon absorption film, and is the same as a relative position relationship between the plurality of first marks and the optical fiber position through hole. Furthermore, the plurality of first marks and the plurality of second marks are in one-to-one correspondence, so that the alignment of the optical fiber positionthrough hole and the single-photon absorption film can be achieved. Therefore, the optical fiber is directly placed in the optical fiber position through hole, and alignment with the single-photon absorption film can be achieved.

Description

technical field [0001] The present application relates to the field of optical detection technology, in particular to a method and device for aligning a superconducting optical detector and an optical fiber based on silicon-based etching. Background technique [0002] Compared with traditional semiconductor photon detectors, superconducting photon detectors have high quantum efficiency, excellent photon number resolution and energy resolution, and their dark count rate is almost negligible. Superconducting photon detectors are widely used in astronomical detection, quantum communication, bioluminescence sensing and other fields. Due to its high quantum efficiency, it is an ideal photon detector for single-photon metrology. [0003] Among them, the key parameter of the superconducting single photon detector is the quantum efficiency. The factor that has the greatest influence on the quantum efficiency is the coupling efficiency between the optical fiber and the photon absorp...
