Suppressing Dark Counts of Multimode-Fiber-Coupled Superconducting Nanowire Single-Photon Detector

Large active-area superconducting nanowire single-photon detectors (SNSPDs) coupled with multimode fibers (MMFs) can provide high light-gathering capacity, which is essential for free-space detection applications in photon-starved regimes. However, MMF-coupled SNSPDs often suffer from large system d...
