[ICNN3-01(Invited)] Gap-Plasmon-Enhanced Superconducting Photon Detectors at Single-Photon Level

*YU-JUNG LU^1,2 (1. Academia Sinica, 2. National Taiwan University )

We developed a novel system that integrates NbN superconducting microwire photon detectors with gap-plasmon resonators to improve the photon detection efficiency to 98% while preserving all detector performance features, such as polarization insensitivity.
