A first demonstration of active feedback control and multi-frequency imaging techniques for kinetic inductance detectors

Maclean Rouble, Graeme Smecher, Michel Adamič +6

RF-ICE is a signal processing platform for the readout of large arrays of superconducting resonators. Designed for flexibility, the system's low digital latency and ability to inde…

Unified and consistent structure growth measurements from joint ACT, SPT and \textit{Planck} CMB lensing

Frank J. Qu, Fei Ge, W. L. Kimmy Wu +143

We present the tightest cosmic microwave background (CMB) lensing constraints to date on the growth of structure by combining CMB lensing measurements from the Atacama Cosmology Te…

Tunable responsivity and bandwidth in microwave kinetic inductance detectors via readout current nonlinearity

Maclean Rouble, Peter Day, Matt Dobbs +3

Microwave kinetic inductance detectors (MKIDs) are generally read out with microwave readout tones of high enough amplitude to adequately suppress the noise contribution of the fir…

The CRS: a scalable full-stack control system for Microwave Kinetic Inductance Detectors

Joshua Montgomery, Wellington Avelino, Matt Dobbs +4

The t0.technology Control and Readout System (CRS) is a modular microwave control and readout system for mm-wave and radio astronomy, THz imaging, noise radar, and superconducting…

In-situ control of the resonant frequency of kinetic inductance detectors with multiplexed readout

Maclean Rouble, Michel Adamič, Peter S. Barry +5

Large multiplexing factors are a primary advantage of kinetic inductance detectors (KIDs), but the implementation of high density arrays still presents significant challenges. Devi…

Characterization of MKIDs for CMB observation at 220 GHz with the South Pole Telescope

Karia R. Dibert, Peter S. Barry, Adam J. Anderson +11

We present an updated design of the 220 GHz microwave kinetic inductance detector (MKID) pixel for SPT-3G+, the next-generation camera for the South Pole Telescope. We show results…

Development of MKIDs for measurement of the Cosmic Microwave Background with the South Pole Telescope

Karia Dibert, Pete Barry, Zhaodi Pan +9

We present details of the design, simulation, and initial test results of prototype detectors for the fourth-generation receiver of the South Pole Telescope (SPT). Optimized for th…
