Nano­second gat­ing of su­per­con­duct­ing nanowire single-photon de­tect­ors us­ing cryo­gen­ic bi­as cir­cuitry

Superconducting nanowire single-photon detectors (SNSPDs) show near unity efficiency, low dark count rate, and short recovery time. Combining these characteristics with temporal control of SNSPDs broadens their applications as in active de-latching for higher dynamic range counting or temporal filtering for pump-probe spectroscopy or LiDAR.
