Detectors capable of resolving the number of photons are essential in many applications, ranging from classic photonics to quantum optics and quantum communication. In particular, photon-number-resolving detectors based on arrays of superconducting nanostrips can offer a high detection efficiency, a low dark count rate, and a recovery time of a few nanoseconds. In this work, […]

In this article, a quasi-elliptical geometry and the iris technique are applied to a multimode cavity to manipulate the resonant mode in the desired direction for quantum memories. By applying quasi-elliptical geometry, the characteristics of monotonically increasing, equally spaced, and monotonically decreasing frequency intervals between the modes are realized. To manipulate a certain mode, an […]
