We report on the extended infrared single-photon response of niobium nitride superconducting nanowires deposited by atomic layer deposition. The superconducting nanowire single-photon detectors are based on 4.65 nm thick NbN, patterned into 100 nm meanders, and characterized at 2.5 K. We verify single-photon sensitivity from 1310 to 2006 nm with saturated response at shorter wavelengths.
