UNPRECEDENTED EFFICIENCY, SPEED AND OPERATING RANGE

sspd PRODUCT LINE

Fiber-coupled detectors that outperform any conventional solutions.

The first demonstration of single-photon detection with an SSPD (also referred to as SNSPD) was made in 2001 in MSPU by future SCONTEL employees. Starting from that moment the performance of the detectors was pushed forward drastically. Nowadays, our detectors make a strong rivalry to established APD and PMT technologies outperforming them in many if not all specifications. The strong side of SSPDs is remarkably wide spectral range of operation from visible to mid-IR, and unprecedented speed which is obtained thanks to superconducting to normal state transitions. Our detectors could sustain active operation for more than 4 weeks being resistant to damage by optical and electrical power spikes.

 

CONFIGURATIONS

Depending on the requirements of your experiment, we configure the detectors for different operation ranges and optimize their efficiency, noise and temporal resolution. Our detectors are characterized by their modification:


Further detector configuration establishes their operating range, which influences other characteristics.  We offer detectors optimized for three operation ranges:
