摘要
We have fabricated Niobium-based superconducting single photon detector (Nb-SSPD) for realizing high detection efficiency and fast reset time. The Nb-SSPD consisted of a 7 nm-thick and 200 nm-wide Nb meander line and exhibited the critical temperature and critical current density of 4 K and 4.6x10(5) A/cm(2), respectively. The Nb-SSPD was coupled to an optical fiber, and the reset time of 2.5 ns was observed with illumination of laser pulses at 1550 nm wavelength.
