Abstract

We demonstrate a 64-pixel single-photon imager based on superconducting nanowire single-photon detectors (SNSPDs) capable of counting single photons up to a wavelength of 10μm. This technology could be useful in future space telescopes in applications such as exoplanet transit spectroscopy.
