- Succeeded in developing a “Superconducting Wide-Strip Photon Detector” with a superconducting strip over 200 times wider than the conventional nanostrip - Achieves high productivity and polarization ...

Modern life runs on light. Fiber-optic cables move data across continents, lasers guide surgeries, and photons sit at the ...

In the science fiction movie ‘Predator’, the alien uses an advanced infrared thermal camera to get super night vision and to locate Dutch's hiding area accurately. Any object whose absolute ...

Physicists have unveiled a new superconducting detector sensitive enough to hunt dark matter particles smaller than electrons. By capturing faint photon signals, the device pushes the search into ...

One notable type is the superconducting nanowire single-photon detector (SNSPD). SNSPDs utilize ultra-thin superconducting wires that quickly transition from a superconducting state to a resistive ...

A project led by Heriot-Watt University has developed a novel single-photon detection system set to improve the performance of lidar systems. Described in Optica, the detector "can generate ...

Over the past decades, engineers have introduced numerous technologies that rely on light and its underlying characteristics.

A team from the Faculty of Physics and the Center for Quantum Optical Technologies at the Center of New Technologies, ...
