Latest from our Labs: Parallel-pixel SNSPDs for Ultrafast and Photon-Number-Resolved Detection

(April 2022) Standard SNSPD designs are often limited to detection rates of tens of MHz at best. Read here about an innovative solution, found in the parallel-pixel detectors of IDQ’s ID281 Superconducting Nanowire Series.

Latest from our Labs: Faster SNSPDs, 24/7 operation and even better timing precision

(April 2022) Read about IDQ’s latest R&D efforts to further improve the ID281 SNSPD offering. In particular, work based on a new set of processes and detector designs is presented, providing enhanced timing precision, even faster single-photon counting, and continuous 24/7 system operation.

Application note: High-speed superconducting detectors

(October 2021) Parallel-pixel detectors let you go beyond the speed limit set by the photon pile-up effect. In this application note, we explore how such a design is allowing IDQ’s ID281 SNSPDs to detect single photons faster than ever before.
