  bibo_abstract:
  - <jats:p>Superconducting nanowire single-photon detectors (SNSPDs) show near unity
    efficiency, low dark count rate, and short recovery time. Combining these characteristics
    with temporal control of SNSPDs broadens their applications as in active de-latching
    for higher dynamic range counting or temporal filtering for pump-probe spectroscopy
    or LiDAR. To that end, we demonstrate active gating of an SNSPD with a minimum
    off-to-on rise time of 2.4 ns and a total gate length of 5.0 ns. We show how the
    rise time depends on the inductance of the detector in combination with the control
    electronics. The gate window is demonstrated to be fully and freely, electrically
    tunable up to 500 ns at a repetition rate of 1.0 MHz, as well as ungated, free-running
    operation. Control electronics to generate the gating are mounted on the 2.3 K
    stage of a closed-cycle sorption cryostat, while the detector is operated on the
    cold stage at 0.8 K. We show that the efficiency and timing jitter of the detector
    is not altered during the on-time of the gating window. We exploit gated operation
    to demonstrate a method to increase in the photon counting dynamic range by a
    factor 11.2, as well as temporal filtering of a strong pump in an emulated pump-probe
    experiment.</jats:p>@eng
