Abstract
We report on our progress towards implementing a measurement service aimed at the calibration of single-photon detectors. We present how our calibration is tied to the calibration of our transfer standard optical fiber power meters. We also developed and built a superconducting nanowire single photon detector system for use as an in-house reference for single photon detection efficiency measurements. This system can also be utilized in comparisons among NIST and other NMIs.Proceedings Title
