Fractal superconducting nanowire single-photon detectors with low polarization sensitivity

• We demonstrated a fractal superconducting nanowire single-photon detector and achieved 42% device efficiency and 1.04 polarization sensitivity. The low polarization sensitivity can be maintained for higher-order spatial modes in few-mode optical fibers.
