Picosecond N-photon autocorrelator based on superconducting nanodetectors

We present a novel approach to an ultrafast N-photon autocorrelator with single-photon sensitivity based on superconducting nanodetectors. The hotspot relaxation time which determines the autocorrelator’s temporal resolution was measured to be ~20 ps.

N-photon Autocorrelator with Picosecond Temporal Resolution

Zili Zhou, G. Frucci, Saeedeh Jahanmirinejad +4 more

We demonstrate an ultrafast autocorrelator with single-photon sensitivity based on superconducting nanodetectors. Its temporal resolution is only limited by the hotspot relaxation time which has been directly measured to be ~ 20 ps.

Ultrasensitive N -Photon Interferometric Autocorrelator

We demonstrate a novel method to measure Nth-order (N=1,2,3,4) interferometric autocorrelation with high sensitivity and temporal resolution. It is based on the combination of linear absorption and nonlinear detection in a superconducting nanodetector, providing much higher efficiency than methods based on all-optical nonlinearities. Its temporal resolution is only limited by the quasiparticle energy relaxation time, which is directly measured to be in the 20 ps range for the NbN films used in this work. We present a general model of interferometric autocorrelation with these nonlinear detectors and discuss the comparison with other approaches and possible improvements.
