摘要/Abstract

摘要： Optical superconducting transition-edge sensor (TES) has been widely used in quantum information, biological imaging, and fluorescence microscopy owing to its high quantum efficiency, low dark count, and photon number resolving capability. The temperature sensitivity (α_I) and current sensitivity (β_I) are important parameters for optical TESs, which are generally extracted from the complex impedance. Here we present a method to extract α_I and β_I based on a two-fluid model and compare the calculated current-voltage curves, pulse response, and theoretical energy resolution with the measured ones. This method shows qualitative agreement that is suitable for further optimization of optical TESs.
