Superconducting nano-wire Ultra thin, very narrow NbN strip, kept at 4.2K and current-biased close to the critical current. A photon-induced hotspot leads to the formation of a resistive barrier across the sensor, and results in a measurable voltage pulse. Healing time ~ 30ps SSPD – meander configuration Meander structure increases the active area and thus the quantum efficiency End of 1st part !
