Abstract
Superconducting nanowire single-photon detectors (SNSPDs) have become the highest-performing type of single-photon detector, with demonstrations of near-unity detection efficiency, GHz count rate, and a broad wavelength range from UV to mid-IR. Scaling these detectors to large areas and pixel counts with minimal tradeoffs in their detection properties would expand the use case of SNSPDs to applications like astronomical spectroscopy, quantum imaging, or dark matter searches. In this talk, I will discuss a thermal coupling scheme enabling these large detector arrays and several array architectures to target the requirements of specific applications.
