摘要
The detection regimes of a superconducting single-photon detector have been investigated. A technique is proposed for determining the regions in which "pure regimes" predominate. Based on experimental data, the dependences of the internal quantum efficiency on the bias current are determined in the one-, two-, and three-photon detection regimes.
