Timing performance of 30-nm-wide superconducting nanowire avalanche photodetectors

We investigated the timing jitter of superconducting nanowire avalanche photodetectors (SNAPs, also referred to as cascade-switching superconducting single-photon detectors) based on 30-nm-wide nanowires. At bias currents (I[subscript B]) near the switching current, SNAPs showed sub-35-ps FWHM Gauss...
