The invention provides a superconducting nanowire single photo detector for suppressing polarization sensitivity. The superconducting nanowire single photo detector comprises a substrate, a high-reflective film, a superconducting nanowire and a medium layer, wherein the high-reflective film is arranged on a surface of the substrate, the superconducting nanowire is arranged on a surface of the high-reflective film, and the medium layer is arranged on the surface of the high-reflective film and wraps the superconducting nanowire. In the superconducting nanowire single photo detector for suppressing the polarization sensitivity, the superconducting nanowire is processed and prepared on the high-reflective film, light can directly irradiate the superconducting nanowire through front-surface optical coupling according to a device structure, the problem of remote focusing in an optical cavity structure can be avoided, the influence of a substrate Fabry-Perot cavity on absorption efficiency is further prevented, the superconducting nanowire single photo detector has relatively high absorption efficiency on a target wavelength, and the detection efficiency of the device is effectively improved; and meanwhile, in the superconducting nanowire single photo detector for suppressing the polarization sensitivity, the polarization correlation of the device can be reduced by growing the high-reflectivity medium layer which wraps the superconducting nanowire on the surface of the high-reflective film.
