- Abstract: Deployment of quantum telecommunication technologies requires single-photon
light emission, collection and detection capability at each network node in
cryogenic environments. We combine recent technological advancements in
single-photon detectors and cryogenics to demonstrate a 3-in-1 system that
incorporates superconducting nanowire single-photon detectors into an optical
cryostat operating at temperatures below 2 K. Dubbed the ICECAP system, this
cryostation cools samples, collects emission, and detects single photons in one
efficient environment suitable for a variety of near infrared quantum emitters.
We utilize this system to characterize emission from silicon carbide color
centers in photoluminescence and time-resolved measurements. Moreover, we
demonstrate the first optical characterization of nitrogen-vacancy centers
integrated in 4H-SiC nanopillars.
