摘要
This study proposed what we believe to be a novel method for fabricating superconducting nanowire single-photon detectors (SNSPDs) with high efficiency, polarization insensitivity, and ultrafast response. To achieve these properties in niobium nitride (NbN) SNSPDs, the periodic four-split rings (PFSR) were positioned above the nanowires. This design uses the localized surface plasmon resonance to enhance the electric field around nanowires. For an incident light with a wavelength of 1550 nm, the PFSR-SNSPD structure achieved a polarization extinction ratio of 1.0064 and absorptions of 88.94% and 88.37% under TE and TM polarizations, respectively. The nanowire length was reduced by 85% using a meandering nanowire arrangement with a fill factor of 0.074.
