Performance of superconducting single photon detector with nano-antenna

doi:10.1088/1674-1056/21/12/120306

Abstract The performance of single-photon detectors can be enhanced by using nano-antenna. The characteristics of the superconducting nano-wire single-photon detector with cavity plus anti-reflect coating and specially designed nano-antenna is analysed. The photon collection efficiency of the detector is enhanced without damaging the detector's speed, thus getting rid of the dilemma of speed and efficiency. The characteristics of nano-antenna are discussed, such as the position and the effect of the active area, and the best result is given. The photon collection efficiency is increased by 92 times compared with that of existing detectors.
