摘要:

在单光子水平上探测光是光子技术的支柱之一。这是通过最先进的超导探测器实现的,它提供高效、宽带和快速的响应。然而,使用具有低TC的超导薄膜限制了它们的工作温度低于4K。在这项工作中,我们展示了基于剥离的二维铜酸盐超导体Bi 2Sr 2CaCu 2 O 8-δ(BSCCO)的概念验证纳米探测器,其在T = 20 K的创纪录温度下在电信波长处表现出单光子灵敏度。这些未优化的器件表现出缓慢(ms)的复位时间和低检测效率(10^(-4))。我们实现了难以捉摸的前景,单光子灵敏度的高TC纳米探测器由于一种新的方法,结合范德华制造技术和基于光离子照射的非侵入性nanopatterning。这一结果为单光子技术的更广泛应用铺平了道路,放宽了电信波长单光子探测的低温限制。

英文摘要:

Detecting light at the single-photon level is one of the pillars of emergent photonic technologies. This is realized through state-of-the-art superconducting detectors that offer efficient, broadband and fast response. However, the use of superconducting thin films with low TC limits their operation temperature below 4K. In this work, we demonstrate proof-of-concept nanodetectors based on exfoliated, two-dimensional cuprate superconductor Bi2Sr2CaCu2O8-δ (BSCCO) that exhibit single-photon sensitivity at telecom wavelength at a record temperature of T = 20K. These non-optimized devices exhibit a slow (ms) reset time and a low detection efficiency (10^(-4)). We realize the elusive prospect of single-photon sensitivity on a high-TC nanodetector thanks to a novel approach, combining van der Waals fabrication techniques and a non-invasive nanopatterning based on light ion irradiation. This result paves the way for broader application of single-photon technologies, relaxing the cryogenic constraints for single-photon detection at telecom wavelength.
