Superconducting nanowire single-photon detectors

The very best in single-photon detection
Complete turn-key systems, empowering you to create the building blocks of tomorrow’s quantum internet

One series, two models,
endless possibility

Our superconducting nanowire single-photon detectors (SNSPDs) represent the very best in single-photon detection. Yet IDQ’s SNSPD journey is just beginning.

IDQ’s mission is to empower your work in emerging photonic technologies and quantum applications; from QKD and quantum communication, quantum optics for quantum computation, hyper-resolved microscopy for biology and medicine, to ultra-precise metrology and manufacturing.

Researchers and developers around the world are already finding out that SNSPDs are making the impossible possible; helping us all reach the goal of tomorrow’s quantum internet. Aided by our existing range of ID281 SNSPDs – already boasting near-perfect detection efficiency, timing precision, ultra-low noise and fast recovery time – you can push your photonic experiments to the limit.

Detectors for any occasion

ID281 SNSPDs are Swiss-made single-photon detectors, featuring best-in-class detection efficiency, timing jitter, noise and recovery speed. Mix and match up to 16 SNSPDs in one automated closedcycle cryostat, providing ease-of-use and unrivalled device performance for long-term multi-year operation.

  • Single pixel detectors for excellent overall performance
  • Parallel and multi-pixel detectors for ultrafast counting and photon-number-resolution
  • Near-ideal efficiency
  • Ultra-precise timing
  • Ultra-low noise

ID281 SNSPD detectors

Two cryogenic systems

Two models of cryogenic system house ID281 Series SNSPDs:
the ID281 SO (SOrption) system, and the ID281 CO (Continuous
Operation) system.

  • Self-contained cryogenic systems
  • Mix and match up to 16 SNSPDs in a single system
  • Autonomous system operation
  • Latch-free single-photon detection by design

ID281 SOrption

The ID281 SO system achieves the highest SNSPD performance, with longer periods between system maintenance and an overall longer system lifetime.

  • Best detector performance – lowest jitter possible
  • Full catalogue of ID281 SNSPDs available
  • Extended system lifetime
  • Even longer periods between maintenance

ID281 Continuous Operation

The ID281 CO system achieves true uninterrupted and indefinite SNSPD operation, while still benefiting from excellent ID281 SNSPD performance.

  • Cost-effective solution
  • True 24/7 continuous operation
  • High-speed and low-jitter SNSPDs
  • Continually expanding detector catalogue
