Abstract: A superconducting nanowire photon detection array adjusts a number of the array elements, a lens array that 1) splits transmitted lights into multiple beams that equals the number of the array elements, and are converged in to a superconducting nanowire detection area; 2) a pulsed laser detects a surface of an object, transmits reflected different light pulses by the surface of the object through the lens array, and records a round-trip time of each photon; 3) collects the photons detected by each array element, takes the array elements as pixels and calculates a gray value of the pixels; and 4) plots a gray-scale image by taking the pixels as pixel points, calculates a distance between the object and the pixel points, and reconstructs a three-dimensional image of the object.

Abstract: The present invention discloses a design for reducing a dark count rate of a superconducting nanowire single photon detector (SNSPD) based on a two-wire structure, which includes: intertwining two niobium nitride nanowires that are not crossed to form an SNSPD of a two-wire structure; regulating and controlling behaviors of one nanowire by adopting the other nanowire, and regulating bias current to be close to superconducting critical current; introducing an optical signal into a photosensitive area of the detector by adopting an optical fiber; outputting two channels of signals respectively through the two nanowires to make the dark count rates of the two nanowires mutually excited; and through a voltage comparator and an exclusive-OR gate, reducing a dark count rate signal, and retaining a photon response signal.

Abstract: A fabrication method of a silicon nanoneedle array with ultra-high aspect ratio includes the following steps: spin-coating two photoresist layers of methyl methacrylate (MMA) and polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) A2 on a silicon substrate; subjecting the silicon substrate coated with the two photoresist layers of MMA and PMMA A2 to electron beam lithography to form a photoresist pattern on the silicon substrate; subjecting the silicon substrate on which the photoresist pattern is formed to electron beam evaporation (EBE) to deposit an Al film layer on the silicon substrate; subjecting the silicon substrate on which the Al film layer is deposited to stripping to obtain an Al film array deposited on the silicon substrate, which provides a mask for the subsequent inductively coupled plasma (ICP) etching process; and subjecting the silicon substrate covered with the Al mask to ICP silicon etching to obtain a silicon nanoneedle array structure.
