摘要：
We present the first evidence of multi-photon detection using a conventional superconducting nanowire single-photon detector, indicating number resolution up to four photons. The observed multi-photon detection statistics are consistent with the predictions of our model. (C) 2017 Optical Society of America under the terms of the OSA Open Access Publishing Agreement
