Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
The present invention provides a device and system for high-efficiency and low-noise detection of single photons within the visible and infrared spectrum. In certain embodiments, the device of the invention can be integrated within photonic circuits to provide on-chip photon detection. The device comprises a traveling wave design comprising a waveguide layer and a superconducting nanowire atop of the waveguide.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. A device for the detection of single photons in the visible and infrared spectrum, the device comprising a buried waveguide layer in a substrate and a superconducting nanowire, wherein the substrate comprises a cavity exposing at least a portion of the buried waveguide layer, and wherein the superconducting nanowire is positioned atop the exposed portion of the buried waveguide layer. 2. The device of claim 1 , wherein the waveguide layer…
