Large-Area 64-pixel Array of WSi Superconducting Nanowire Single Photon Detectors

Abstract

We developed a 64-pixel 320 µm diameter array of WSi SNSPDs for the ground receiver of a deep-space optical communication link. The SNSPD array exhibits a free-space system detection efficiency of 40% at 1550 nm.
