Original Abstract Submitted

a nanowire photodetection system comprising an optical waveguide and superconducting nanowires. the optical waveguide is located on a substrate. the superconducting nanowires are electrically connected in parallel to connector wires located on both sides of the optical waveguide. a set of the superconducting nanowires cross a width of the optical waveguide and absorb a photon in the optical waveguide.
