contents Superconducting nanowire single-photon detectors (SNSPDs) were integrated with plasmonic nanostructures to enhance the absorption efficiency of superconducting BSCCO stripes. A numerical investigation of optimized nanocavity array (NCAI) and nanocavity-trench-array (NCTAI) SNSPDs has revealed that more than one order of magnitude larger absorptance can be achieved at perpendicular incidence, when compared to the corresponding meandered BSCCO pattern in a resonant optical cavity. The SNSPDs were considerably improved either via first and third quarter cavity resonances, as evidenced by the near-field maps and validated by the standard retrieval method. Although, NCAI-SNSPD exhibits slightly larger absorptance, NCTAI-SNSPD remains competitive due to its larger period and significantly smaller filling factor, thereby allowing for quicker electric response.
