Redefining photon detection with SNSPD

Harnessing light as a carrier of information is crucial for technological breakthroughs. Innovative technologies are in need of efficient, scalable, fast and secure single photon detection solutions - and we got them!

We have developed a unique approach to combine Superconducting Nanowire Single Photon Detectors (SNSPD) with Photonic Integrated Circuits (PIC). SNSPDs already achieve high detection efficiency - but on top of that, waveguide integration makes our superconducting detectors highly scalable and broadband. Join us as we revolutionize single photon detection in many ways.

Scalable photon detection: Waveguide-integration makes the difference

Photon absorption rates of almost 100 % at any given wavelength, count rates up to 2 GHz, jitter below 30 ps, a sub Hz dark count rate and the ability to pack several photonic circuits at one single chip demonstrate: technology matters!

"The promises of the second quantum revolution originate in the capacity to manipulate and detect single particles with utmost efficiency, at high speed and at a cost that is not an obstacle to scale beyond lab experiments for real-life disruptive impact. Pixel Photonics is providing this capacity for elements that are crucial in most quantum systems that I know of, detectors for the single quanta of light. Through their own developments and a remarkable capacity to work in syntony with their academic and industrial partners, they’re truly the ultimate enabling company in the emerging quantum industry."
