A photon number resolving detector (PNRD) is a device providing a different output depending on the number of incident photons in the single or few photons regime. This tool is crucial in several applications such as quantum communication, boson sampling, photon sources characterization and so on. PNRD are not new players in ultraviolet or visible wavelengths, but superconducting nanostrips provide a performing counterpart also in the near-infrared, where the aforementioned applications would like to operate. In this work we present a comprehensive description of the operation of an eight-pixel PNRD at the telecom wavelength of 1550 nm.

Abstract
A photon number resolving detector (PNRD) is a device providing a different output depending on the number of incident photons in the single or few photons regime. This tool is crucial in several applications such as quantum communication, boson sampling, photon sources characterization and so on. PNRD are not new players in ultraviolet or visible wavelengths, but superconducting nanostrips provide a performing counterpart also in the near-infrared, where the aforementioned applications would like to operate. In this work we present a comprehensive description of the operation of an eight-pixel PNRD at the telecom wavelength of 1550 nm.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
