High detection rate and high efficiency with parallel SNSPDs
14:40 - 15:00
Matthieu Perrenoud, Misael Caloz, Claire Autebert, Christian Schonenberger, Hugo Zbinden and Félix Bussières Achieving ultra-high detection rate with high efficiency is crucial for many applications requiring fast single photon detection, such as Quantum Key Distribution.
We report on parallely-connected SNSPDs, using a new approach to mitigate the effects of electrical cross-talk and the latching it can cause. Using this method, we will report on MoSi-based SNSPDs with high efficiency at 1550 nm and detection rates as high as 200 MHz."
