This dual ion beam sputtering (DIBS) process controls wafer bow in DBR mirrors to optimize the performance of superconducting nanowire single-photon detectors (SNSPDs). It creates ultra-smooth reflective surfaces required to maximize optical absorption without compromising superconducting nanowire properties. This advancement enhances detection efficiency and timing resolution for quantum communication and deep-space optical links.
