Abstract

We demonstrated a fractal superconducting nanowire single-photon detector and achieved 42% device efficiency and 1.04 polarization sensitivity. The low polarization sensitivity can be maintained for higher-order spatial modes in few-mode optical fibers.

Fractal superconducting nanowire single-photon detectors with reduced polarization sensitivity

We demonstrate superconducting nanowire single-photon detectors (SNSPDs) based on a fractal design of the nanowires to reduce the polarization sensitivity of detection efficiency. We patterned niobium titanium nitride thin films into Peano curves with a linewidth of 100 nm and integrated the nanowires with optical microcavities to enhance their optical absorption. At a base temperature of 2.6 K, the fractal SNSPD exhibited a polarization-maximum device efficiency of 67% and a polarization-minimum device efficiency of 61% at a wavelength of 1550 nm. Therefore, the polarization sensitivity, defined as their ratio, was 1.1, lower than the polarization sensitivity of the SNSPDs in the meander design. The reduced polarization sensitivity of the detector could be maintained for higher-order spatial modes in multimode optical fibers and could tolerate misalignment between the optical mode and the detector. This fractal design is applicable to both amorphous and polycrystalline materials that are commonly used for making SNSPDs.

Fabrication Development of High-Performance Fractal Superconducting Nanowire Single-Photon Detectors

Kai Zou, Xiaolong Hu

Fractal superconducting nanowire single-photon detectors (SNSPDs) have been demonstrated with high system detection efficiency for incident photons in all states of polarization. This paper aims at presenting the nano- and mico-fabrication development of the high-performance fractal SNSPDs, with particular emphasis on the important experimental nuances that are key to the success of these devices. We believe that the paper will benefit the community by facilitating the fabrication of the fractal SNSPDs, and therefore, more advanced devices, based on the fractal SNSPDs, but with additional functionality, can be made and developed in the future.

Efficiently Detecting Single Photons from Multiple Spatial Modes Speckles may reduce detection efficiency and induce modal noise in photodetection. Xiaolong Hu and co-workers (article number 2400342) show that a superconducting nanowire single-photon detector (SNSPD) patterned into the fractal geometry can be insensitive to the speckles and they demonstrate an efficient fractal SNSPD coupled with multimode fiber.
