Abstract
We increase the power absorption efficiency for TE0 and TM0 modes in superconducting traveling wave photo detectors and compensate a large part of the lost power in the substrate SiO2 layer of a waveguide with an active superconducting YBCO layer, by using an optimized supplementary YSZ layer thickness.
