Abstract
Transition edge sensors have demonstrated near unity detection efficiency of single photons and photon number resolving ability over a wide wavelength range (≈ 700 −1600 nm). They are also known to be slow, with timing jitter values in the ≈ 100 ns range, and the best current values in the ≈ 20 ns range. We report measured jitter times below 5 ns for a tungsten TES. This is particularly relevant for experiments clocked from an 80 MHz Ti:Sa laser.
