Demonstrating Single Photon Counting with Kinetic Inductance Detectors from 3.8 to 25 m
Wilbert G. Ras-Vinke, Kevin Kouwenhoven, Jochem J. A. Baselmans +4
One of the primary objectives of modern astronomy is the atmospheric characterization of Earth-like exoplanets at visible and infrared wavelengths. Achieving this goal requires ext…
DESHIMA 2.0: A 200-400 GHz Ultra-wideband Integrated Superconducting Spectrometer
K. Karatsu, A. Endo, A. Moerman +26
DESHIMA (Deep Spectroscopic HIgh-redshift MApper) is a broadband integrated superconducting spectrometer (ISS) for millimeter (mm) / sub-millimeter (sub-mm) wave astronomy based on…
AMKID -- a large KID-based camera at the APEX telescope
N. Reyes, A. Weiss, S. J. C. Yates +26
The thermal emission at sub-millimeter wavelengths carries unique information in many astronomical applications ranging from disks and planet formation around young stars, to galax…
Demonstration of Ultra-Sensitive KIDs for Future THz Space Borne Polarimeters
Stephen J. C. Yates, Alejandro Pascual Laguna, Willem Jellema +8
We present measurements and simulations of the polarization purity of leaky lens-antenna coupled microwave Kinetic Inductance Detectors (KIDs) at 1.5 THz. We find the integrated cr…
Terahertz Band-Pass Filters for Wideband Superconducting On-chip Filter-bank Spectrometers
Alejandro Pascual Laguna, Kenichi Karatsu, David J. Thoen +4
A superconducting microstrip half-wavelength resonator is proposed as a suitable band-pass filter for broadband moderate spectral resolution spectroscopy for terahertz (THz) astron…
Phonon-trapping enhanced energy resolution in superconducting single photon detectors
Pieter J. de Visser, Steven A. H. de Rooij, Vignesh Murugesan +2
A noiseless, photon counting detector, which resolves the energy of each photon, could radically change astronomy, biophysics and quantum optics. Superconducting detectors promise…
