Show Abstract
We present a design of a superconducting nanowire single photon detector fabricated on a core of a single mode optical fiber. The proposed design allows high overlap between the fiber light mode and the detector, and consequently, our fabricated devices can remain small in dimension and maintain speed of operation, without sacrificing the detection efficiency. The on-fiber fabrication method is detailed, together with experimental results. The proposed method can be exploited in the future for the fabrication of other fiber coupled devices.
