Description

A kind of photon number and the distinguishable superconductive microwave dynamic inductance detector of energy
Technical field
The invention belongs to the technical fields of superconducting single-photon detector, and in particular to a kind of photon number and energy are distinguishable Superconductive microwave dynamic inductance detector.
Background technique
Light quantum information technology rapidly develops in recent years, and the underlying carrier of information is the single photon for being not easily susceptible to interference, In order to accurately read the single-photon detector that photon information just needs work in communication band (near infrared band).Most types Single-photon detector can generate identical response to a photon or multi-photon, can only distinguish no photon and have two kinds of shapes of photon State is unable to resolved light subnumber (photon-number resolving, abbreviation PNR) and resolving photon energy, this allows for PNR Detector can apply deeper into light quantum information processing and spectrum accurate measurement in.
The single-photon detector of current commercialization is mainly based upon semiconductor system, such as photomultiplier tube and work Avalanche photodide (APD) under Geiger mode angular position digitizer.However it is limited by material band gap width, semiconductor single-photon detector Usually only there is response to the light of a certain wave band.For example the APD of silicon base is good in the performance of 400nm~900nm wave band, but to wavelength It is not responded in 1 μm or more of light, and this is precisely the section where modern communications wavelength (1.31 μm and 1.55 μm).Superconduction material The energy gap of material has sensitive response in meV magnitude, therefore to the photon of near infrared band.And superconductor detector works in low temperature, With extremely low dark count rate, these advantages make superconducting single-photon detector become work in the PNR detector of communication band One of best solution.
There are mainly two types of superconductor detectors that is currently being widely studied and having communication band number of photons resolution performance: super It leads nanowire single photon detector (SNSPD) and is based on the single-photon detector of heat-sensitive superconducting boundary transition sensing technology (TES). SNSPD is that the hot spot region formed after being incident on nano wire using photon loses superconductivity to realize photon detection, although It can make the indirect resolved light subnumber of SNSPD by space or time-domain multiplexed, but single SNSPD itself does not have the energy of PNR Power, and can not resolving photon energy.TES is then to utilize the great superconducting thin film of suiperconducting transition curve (resistance v. temperature) slope Photon detection is realized, because the resistance variations of TES are proportional to the number or energy of incident photon, TES in linear zone Itself just there is number of photons and energy resolution, but TES needs the SQUID technique on chip, micro-processing technology is required very Height can greatly increase the complexity on measurement route if expanding to detector array.
In order to solve the problem of single SNSPD can not resolving photon number and energy and TES can not large-scale integrated, It is proposed that with another superconductor detector for having PNR and photon energy resolution ability is realized: microwave dynamic inductance is visited It surveys device (Microwave Kinetic Inductance Detector, abbreviation MKID), this is maximally related with the application patent Technology is specifically please referred to and has been published thesis: Counting near infrared photons with microwave The working principle of kinetic inductance detectors, Appl.Phys.Lett.110,212601 (2017) .MKID is Photon detection is realized to the sensitive response of radiation energy using the dynamic inductance of superconductor.When photon is absorbed by photonic absorption area Afterwards, cooper electronics reduces the dynamic inductance for changing resonator to density, and the raising of quasi particle density then makes resonator surface resistance Increase, eventually results in the reduction of resonance frequency and quality factor.Therefore the microwave excitation signal near input resonance frequency Afterwards, we can observe response impulse corresponding with light pulse, and the amplitude of response impulse and the photon number of absorption (or energy Amount) it is directly proportional, to realize the resolution of photon number and energy.
But photon absorption region is the superconducting thin film of single layer in the technology, even if photon has been fully focussed on absorption region, Also it can inevitably be reflected or transmit to reduce photon absorption efficiency, and then limit the system detection effect of detector Rate;Furthermore photonic absorption area using superconducting transition temperature ≈ 1.4K TiAlN thin film, greater than the material (Al) of interdigital capacitor Superconducting transition temperature (≈ 1.2K), the quasi particle that such photon generates in TiN material after being absorbed are easy to spread into Al, band Carry out non-uniform response, limits energy resolution.
