Equivalent circuit modeling of traveling-wave superconducting-nanostripe single-photon detectors for silicon quantum photonic integrated circuits

Loïc H. Djamen Tchapda, Anindya Bal, Sami A. Nazib +9 more

Superconducting nanostripe single-photon detectors (SNSPDs) represent key components in silicon quantum photonic integrated circuits (SiQuPICs). They provide good timing precision, low dark counts, and high efficiency. The design, fabrication, and characterization of SiQuPICs comprising SNSPDs coupled to dielectric optical waveguides are the core objectives of our work. The detectors are positioned directly on the dielectric waveguide core to increase photon absorption by the superconducting nanostripes. We also present results on the SPICE circuit modeling of traveling-wave SNSPDs integrated with Si3N4/SiO2 optical waveguides.

Matrix of Integrated Superconducting Single-Photon Detectors With High Timing Resolution

Carsten Schuck, W. H. P. Pernice, Olga V. Minaeva +4 more

We demonstrate a large grid of individually addressable superconducting single photon detectors on a single chip. Each detector element is fully integrated into an independent waveguide circuit with custom functionality at telecom wavelengths. High device density is achieved by fabricating the nanowire detectors in traveling wave geometry directly on top of silicon-on-insulator waveguides. Our superconducting single photon detector matrix includes detector designs optimized for high detection efficiency, low dark count rate, and high timing accuracy. As an example, we exploit the high timing resolution of a particularly short nanowire design to resolve individual photon round-trips in a cavity ring-down measurement of a silicon ring resonator.
