Modelling the Performance of Single-Photon Counting Kinetic Inductance Detectors
Josie Dzifa Akua Parrianen, Andreas Papageorgiou, Simon Doyle +1
Using conventional superconductor theory we discuss and validate a model that describes the energy-resolving performance of an aluminium LEKID to single-photon absorption events. W…
SuMAC: On-sky demonstration of multi-pixel on-chip millimeter-wave spectroscopy at the Large Millimeter Telescope
Marcial Becerril-Tapia, Peter S. Barry, Christopher S. Benson +29
The SuperSpec-MUSCAT Collaboration (SuMAC) is an effort to operate SuperSpec spectrometers in the MUSCAT instrument at the Large Millimeter Telescope (LMT). SuperSpec is an on-chip…
Eliminating stray radiation inside large area imaging arrays
Stephen J. C. Yates, Simon Doyle, Peter Barry +8
With increasing array size, it is increasingly important to control stray radiation inside the detector chips themselves. We demonstrate this effect with focal plane arrays of abso…
Photon noise from chaotic and coherent millimeter-wave sources measured with horn-coupled, aluminum lumped-element kinetic inductance detectors
Daniel Flanigan, Heather McCarrick, Glenn Jones +18
We report photon-noise limited performance of horn-coupled, aluminum lumped-element kinetic inductance detectors at millimeter wavelengths. The detectors are illuminated by a milli…
Lumped Element Kinetic Inductance Detectors for space applications
Alessandro Monfardini, Jochem Baselmans, Alain Benoit +12
Kinetic Inductance Detectors (KID) are now routinely used in ground-based telescopes. Large arrays, deployed in formats up to kilopixels, exhibit state-of-the-art performance at mi…
MKID development for SuperSpec: an on-chip, mm-wave, filter-bank spectrometer
Erik Shirokoff, Peter S. Barry, Charles M. Bradford +16
SuperSpec is an ultra-compact spectrometer-on-a-chip for millimeter and submillimeter wavelength astronomy. Its very small size, wide spectral bandwidth, and highly multiplexed rea…
