(a) System DE (blue dots) and DCR (black stars) of the SNSPD versus the bias current I . (b) The experimental single-photon detection waveform (blue solid line) and the calculated single-photon detection waveform (red dashed line). The experimental waveform was obtained by averaging over 104 times to minimize the noise influence. (c) The current that flowed through the SNSPD, based on experimental and calculated waveforms in panel (b).
