RESUMO
We developed a mobile superconducting strip photon detector (SSPD) system operated in a liquid-helium Dewar. By adopting highly disordered NbTiN thin films, we successfully enhanced the detection performance of superconducting strips at higher operation temperatures and realized SSPDs with nearly saturated detection efficiency at 4.2â K. Then we customized a compact liquid-helium Dewar and a battery-based electronic module to minimize the SSPD system. A mobile SSPD system was integrated, which showed a system detection efficiency of 72% for a 1550â nm wavelength with a dark count rate of 200 cps and a timing jitter of 67.2 ps. The system has a weight of 40â kg and a power consumption of 500â mW, which can work continuously for 20 hours. The metrics can be further optimized in accordance with the various practical application platforms, such as aircraft, drones, etc.
