A team at the National Institute of Standards and Technology in Boulder, Colorado, has reported the successful implementation of a 400,000 pixel superconducting nanowire single-photon detector (SNSPD) ...
Animation depicts the special readout system that made it possible for NIST researchers to build a 400,000 superconducting-nanowire single-photon camera, the highest resolution camera of its type.
Superconducting nanowire single-photon detectors (SNSPDs) represent a cutting-edge class of devices that have transformed the detection of extremely weak light signals. Operating at cryogenic ...
