The superconducting nanowire single-photon detectors based on tungsten silicide offer saturated internal detection efficiency up to a wavelength of 10 µm. They are highly promising for mid-infrared applications needing sub-nanosecond timing, ultra-high gain stability, low dark counts, and high efficiency, such as chemical sensing, LIDAR, dark matter searches, and exoplanet spectroscopy.
