Obiettivo This project targets the development of near-infrared single-photon optical detectors based on nanostructured superconductors. These detectors will achieve ultimate sensitivity and temporal resolution for application in long-distance optical communications, quantum cryptography, diagnostics and testing, and remote sensing. We will pursue the following objectives:- Fabricate single-photon optical detectors with unprecedented performance at telecom wavelengths (four orders of magnitude more sensitive and three orders of magnitude faster than commercially-available avalanche photodiodes and photomultipliers)- Demonstrate their implementation in several IST applications by industrial partnersIn order to achieve these goals, the following approach will be taken:- Material development, nanofabrication and optical characterisation will be pursued by academic and public research institutions- Applications will be demonstrated by SMEs and major industrial players with a leading position in optical communications, professional electronics and advanced optical technologies.The project will make an impact on European competitiveness by:- Advancing the state-of-the-art in strategic nanomaterials- Providing the European industrial and scientific community with a tool whose performance will open new opportunities for industrial use and fundamental science- Facilitating the industrial take-up of a nanophotonic technology by spanning the value chain from devices to applications.
