Abstract

The invention provides a high polarization ratio single photon detector based on superconductive nanowires. The high polarization ratio single photon detector based on the superconductive nanowires comprises a substrate, an anti-reflection layer and the superconductive nanowires, wherein the anti-reflection layer is combined to the surface of the substrate, the superconductive nanowires are combined to the surface of the anti-reflection layer in a periodic winding structure, the width of the superconductive nanowires is not larger than 75 nanometers, the thickness is not larger than 7 nanometers, and the duty ratio is not larger than 40 percent. According to the high polarization ratio single photon detector based on the superconductive nanowires, the width, the thickness and the duty ratio of the superconductive nanowires of the single photon detector are adjusted, and a large polarization ratio of the single photon detector is achieved. Compared with a traditional polarization detector, the high polarization ratio single photon detector based on the superconductive nanowires has the advantages of being small in size, simple in structure, high in sensitivity, low in dark counting and the like, and external integration of polarization devices is not needed.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of light detection, and relates to a superconducting nanowire single photon detector, in particular to a high polarization ratio single photon detector based on a superconducting nanowire. Background technique [0002] Superconducting Nanowire Single Photon Detector (SNSPD) is an important photon detector, which can realize single photon detection from visible light to infrared band. [0003] When SNSPD works, it is placed in a low temperature environment (<4K), the device is in a superconducting state, and a certain bias current I is applied. b , I b slightly less than the device critical current I c . When a single photon is incident on the nanowire in the device, it will break up the Cooper pair and form a large number of hot electrons, thus forming a localized hot spot, which is under the bias current I b Due to the diffusion of Joule heat under the action of the nanowires, the local quenching of ...
