Description
Superconducting nanowire single-photon detectors (SNSPD) systems have progressed rapidly over the past decade. Recent devices exhibit leading performance figures including sub-10 ps system timing jitter, 1.5 GHz detection rates, arrays up to 400,000 pixels, sub-hertz dark count rates, high efficiency, as well as intrinsic and array-based photon number resolution. In this talk I will review several systems with specification requirements that overlap with those of stellar intensity interferometry, including NASA’s deep space optical communication demonstration. I will then outline future prospects for focused detector development.
