We developed superconducting nanowire single-photon detectors based on tungsten silicide, which show saturated internal detection efficiency up to a wavelength of 10 μm. These are promising for applications in the mid-infrared requiring sub-nanosecond timing, ultra-high gain stability, low dark counts, and high efficiency, such as chemical sensing, LIDAR, matter searches, exoplanet spectroscopy.
Abstract To achieve the state-of-the-art photon detectors, extensive research has been carried out on graphene-based bolometers. These utilize graphene’s promising properties including its small heat capacity, weak electron-phonon coupling, and resistance. This article reviews recent development of cryogenic bolometers, which are particular interest importance for understanding as well taking advantage intrinsic graphene. We summarize major theoretical experimental developments in field,...
We fabricate graphene-TiOx-aluminum tunnel junctions and characterize their radio frequency response. Below the superconducting critical temperature of aluminum when biased within gap, devices show enhanced dynamic resistance which increases with decreasing temperature. Application radiation affects through electronic heating. The relation between electron rise absorbed power is measured, from bolometric parameters, including heat conductance, noise equivalent power, responsivity, are characterized.

We describe the properties of ultrasensitive graphene photon detectors for use in far-infrared/terahertz spectral region and present theoretical predictions their power detection sensitivity. These are based on two contacting schemes with superconducting contacts: contacts a thin insulating barrier, direct contacts. To quantitatively assess these predictions, we perform thermal measurements at low temperatures analyse them to extract information electron–phonon cooling graphene. new results...

Graphene is a promising candidate for building fast and ultra-sensitive bolometric detectors due to its weak electron-phonon coupling low heat capacity.

Graphene ultra-small volume and low electron density, which gives relatively large heating per absorbed fast response.
