    Area of Science:

    • Optics and Photonics
    • Quantum Technologies
    • Materials Science

    Background:

    • Broadband photon detectors are crucial for applications like spectrometers and light detection and ranging.
    • Superconducting nanowire single-photon detectors (SNSPDs) offer high sensitivity but often have limited spectral ranges.

    • To investigate the performance of a microfiber-coupled superconducting nanowire single-photon detector (SNSPD).
    • To demonstrate efficient photon detection across a wide spectral range from visible to near-infrared.

    Main Methods:

    • Fabrication of a superconducting nanowire single-photon detector (SNSPD) structure by placing a microfiber (MF) on top of niobium nitride (NbN) nanowires.
    • Optical simulations to predict absorption efficiency over a broad wavelength range.
    • Experimental characterization of the system detection efficiency (SDE) of the fabricated device.

    Main Results:

    • Simulations predicted >90% optical absorption efficiency from 350 nm to 2150 nm with an optimal device structure.
