Abstract
The paper is devoted to several recent rather fundamental achievements in the field of superconducting nanostrip single-photon detectors which make an impact on understanding the detection mechanism, technological challenges and performance metrics important for applications. Special attention is given to static and temporal fluctuations of different origin affecting key metrics of these detectors. Some salient points of older models such as detection criteria or real-time evolution of an electro-thermal domain are also highlighted. Recent technical and instrumental advances are intentionally left beyond the scope of this paper.
