Using surface plasmons to enhance the speed and efficiency of superconducting nanowire single-photon detectors
We report our design and fabrication of superconducting nanowire single-photon detectors integrated with gold plasmonic nanostructures, which can enhance the absorption of TM-polarized light, and can enlarge the effective area without sacrificing detector speed.
