1 Scope
This part of IEC 61788 is applicable to the measurement of the dark count rate ( DCR , R D ) of superconductor strip photon detectors (SSPDs). It specifies terms, definitions,
symbols and the measurement method of DCR that depends on the bias current ( I b ) and operating temperature ( T ).
NOTE The data of measurement results in Annex A are based on measurements of one institute only. The standard will be updated after
the data of a complete round robin test are available.
