Investigation of reflection-based measurements of microwave kinetic inductance detectors in the optical bands
Jie Hu, Faouzi Boussaha, Paul Nicaise +4
In this paper, we investigate the single photon response from the reflection of the Microwave Kinetic Inductance Detector (MKID) array. Reflection measurements are carried out usin…
Design and Simulation of TiN-Based Suspended Meander Kinetic Inductance Detectors (KIDs) for Visible and Near-Infrared Astronomy Applications
Maria Appavou, Lucas Ribeiro, Paul Nicaise +6
We report on simulations of a novel design of optical titanium nitride (TiN)- based Kinetic Inductance Detectors (KIDs) in order to improve their response to optical photons. We pr…
Investigation of Quasi-particle Relaxation in Strongly Disordered Superconductor Resonators
Jie Hu, Jean-Marc Matin, Paul Nicaise +5
In this paper, we investigate the quasi-particle (QP) relaxation of strongly disordered superconducting resonators under optical illumination at different bath temperatures with th…
Investigation of Optical Coupling in Microwave Kinetic Inductance Detectors using Superconducting Reflective Plates
Paul Nicaise, Jie Hu, Jean-Marc Martin +6
To improve the optical coupling in Microwave Kinetic Inductance Detectors (MKIDs), we investigate the use of a reflective plate beneath the meandered absorber. We designed, fabrica…
Large Inverse Transient Phase Response of Titanium-nitride-based Microwave Kinetic Inductance Detectors
Jie Hu, Faouzi Boussaha, Jean-Marc Martin +5
Following optical pulses () on titanium nitride (TiN) Microwave Kinetic Inductance Detectors (MKIDs) cooled down at temperatures ($T_c \simeq 4.6~…
Design of Near Infrared and Visible Kinetic Inductance Detectors Using MIM Capacitors
S. Beldi, F. Boussaha, C. Chaumont +7
We are developing superconducting Microwave Kinetic Inductance Detectors to operate at near infrared and optical wavelengths for astronomy. In order to efficiently meet with the re…
