Cavity-Integrated Ultra-Narrow Superconducting Nanowire Single-Photon Detector Based on a Thick Niobium Nitride Film

We propose a design for cavity-integrated Superconducting Nanowire Single-Photon Detectors based on 20-nm-wide 10-nm-thick nanowires. Our simulations show that these detectors can potentially reach ~90% device detection efficiency.
