Abstract

In this paper, we review research progress on bio-fluorescence imaging and microscopy using Superconducting Nanowire Single-Photon Detectors (SNSPDs) and introduce the fractal SNSPDs that feature high detection efficiency, low polarization sensitivity, fast operating speed, high timing resolution, and broad-spectrum response. These combined merits make them ideal candidates for light sensors in bio-fluorescence imaging and microscopy.
