Abstract
We report successful fabrication of niobium nitride single-photon detectors on aluminum nitride substrates. The fabricated detectors showed saturated detection efficiency at 2.45 K under 1550 nm illumination (indicating near-unity internal quantum efficiency), sub-60-ps jitter, and ∼6 ns reset time.
