The detection event of single photons by SSPDs can be split into four phases, of which the first and the last are very well understood.
Photon − electron interaction
As a first step, the photon is absorbed inside the superconducting film. This process can be described by classical electromagnetics. This allows the simulation using common simulation techniques like FDTD or FEM.
Down−conversion phase
Resistive Area forming phase
Normal spot model
Reset phase
