  Absorption of light in superconducting electronics is a major limitation on
the quality of circuit architectures that integrate optical components with
superconducting components. A 10 nm thick film of a typical superconducting
material like niobium can absorb over half of any incident optical radiation.
We propose instead using superconductors which are transparent to the
wavelengths used elsewhere in the system. In this paper we investigated reduced
indium tin oxide (ITO) as a potential transparent superconductor for
electronics. We fabricated and characterized superconducting wires of reduced
indium tin oxide. We also showed that a $\SI{10}{nm}$ thick film of the
material would only absorb about 1 - 20\% of light between 500 - 1700 nm.
