Design of Fabrication-Tolerant and Compact Waveguide Superconducting Single-Photon Detector Based on TM<sub>0</sub> Mode Absorption

A TM<sub>0</sub> mode coupled travelling wave SNSPD based on SOI platform is designed. The light propagating in this device can achieve high-efficiency mode conversion from TE<sub>0</sub> mode to TM<sub>0</sub> mode and then absorbed by NbN nanowires on top of the...
