Single-photon detectors are an essential tool for a wide range of applications. Ideally, a single photon detector generates a measurable signal only when a single photon is absorbed. Since the first reported detection of a single photon using a superconducting nanowire in 2001, rapid progress has been made in the development and application of superconducting nanowire single photon detectors with ideal properties. I will briefly describe recent progress in detector development at NIST.
