    "abstract": "We investigate the recovery of superconducting NbN-nanowire photon counters\nafter detection of an optical pulse at a wavelength of 1550 nm, and present a\nmodel that quantitatively accounts for our observations. The reset time is\nfound to be limited by the large kinetic inductance of these nanowires, which\nforces a tradeoff between counting rate and either detection efficiency or\nactive area. Devices of usable size and high detection efficiency are found to\nhave reset times orders of magnitude longer than their intrinsic photoresponse\ntime.",
