Superconducting single-photon detectors in the mid-infrared for physical chemistry and spectroscopy

Abstract

Superconductivity in a nanowire is destroyed by absorption of an infrared photon allowing single-photon detection in the mid-infrared. Superconducting nanowire single-photon detectors have enormous potential for spectroscopic applications in molecular science.
