Time resolution is one of the main characteristics single photon detectors besides quantum efficiency and dark count rate. We demonstrate here an ultrafast time-correlated counting (TCSPC) setup consisting a newly developed board SPC-150NX superconducting NbN detector with sensitive area 7 × μm.

Background: Titanium (Ti) implants are extensively used in reconstructive surgery and orthopedics. However, the intrinsic inertness of untreated Ti usually results insufficient osseointegration. In order to improve osteoconductivity properties implants, they coated with hierarchical microtopographic/nanotopographic coatings employing method molecular layering atomic layer deposition (ML-ALD).

We have found experimentally that the rise time of voltage pulse in NbN superconducting single photon detectors increases nonlinearly with increasing length detector L. The effect is connected dependence resistance Rn, which appears after absorption, on its kinetic inductance Lk and, hence, detector. This conclusion confirmed by our calculations framework two temperature model.
The use of improved fabrication technology, highly disordered NbN thin films, and intertwined section topology makes it possible to create high-performance photon-number-resolving superconducting single-photon detectors (PNR SSPDs) that are comparable conventional single-element SSPDs at the telecom range. developed four-section PNR SSPD has simultaneously an 86±3% system detection efficiency, 35 cps dark count rate, ∼2 ns dead time, maximum 90 ps jitter. An investigation SSPD’s efficiency...
We have developed the deposition technology of WSi thin films 4 to 9 nm thick with high temperature values superconducting transition (Tc~4 K).

We investigate thermal properties of a NbN single-photon detector capable unit internal detection efficiency. Using an independent calibration the coupling losses we determine absolute optical power absorbed by film and, via resistive superconductor thermometry, resistance Z(T) in dependence temperature. In principle, this approach permits simultaneous measurement electron-phonon and phonon-escape contributions to energy relaxation, which our case is ambiguous for their similar temperature...
