Improving detection efficiency of superconducting nanowire single-photon detector using multilayer antireflection coating

Optical cavity with backside optical coupling is one of the prevalent optical structures for superconducting nanowire single photon detector. A single layer anti-reflection coating (ARC) on the backside of the substrate is often adopted to enhance the transmittance to the substrate. We here apply a...
