An Open Source RFSoC-based Readout Electronics System for Arrays of Kinetic Inductance Detectors and Superconducting Resonators
Cody Roberson, Nia McNichols, Jack Sayers +12
We present a novel readout electronics system for large arrays of superconducting electromagnetic resonators, such as kinetic inductance detectors (KIDs), based on a Radio Frequenc…
Improved Modeling of Quasi-Static Thermal and Optical Response of Lumped-Element Aluminum Manganese KIDs
Adriana Gavidia, Sunil Golwala, Andrew D. Beyer +11
We report on the optical characterization of the AlMn kinetic inductance detectors (KIDs) in development for use in the Next-generation Extended Wavelength-MUltiband Sub/millimeter…
Low-Frequency Noise Performance of Microstrip-Coupled Lumped-Element Aluminum KIDs using Hydrogenated Amorphous Silicon Parallel-Plate Capacitors for NEW-MUSIC
Simon Hempel-Costello, Andrew D. Beyer, Dan Cunnane +11
We present measurements of the low-frequency noise of microstrip-coupled, lumped-element aluminum kinetic inductance detectors that use hydrogenated amorphous silicon parallel-plat…
A Millimeter-Wave Photometric Camera for Long-Range Imaging Through Optical Obscurants Using Kinetic Inductance Detectors
Jack Sayers, Daniel Cunnane, Sage Crystian +16
Passive imaging through optical obscurants is a promising application for mm-wave sensing. We have thus developed the Superconducting Kinetic Inductance Passive Radiometer (SKIPR),…
Low two-level-system noise in hydrogenated amorphous silicon
Fabien Defrance, Andrew D. Beyer, Jordan Wheeler +2
At sub-Kelvin temperatures, two-level systems (TLS) present in amorphous dielectrics source a permittivity noise, degrading the performance of a wide range of devices using superco…
NEW-MUSIC: The Next-generation Extended-Wavelength Multiband Sub/millimeter Inductance Camera
Sunil R. Golwala, Andrew D. Beyer, Daniel Cunnane +9
The Next-generation Extended Wavelength-MUltiband Sub/millimeter Inductance Camera (NEW-MUSIC) on the Leighton Chajnantor Telescope (LCT) will be a first-of-its-kind, six-band, tra…
Characterization of the low electric field and zero-temperature two-level-system loss in hydrogenated amorphous silicon
Fabien Defrance, Andrew D. Beyer, Shibo Shu +2
Two-level systems (TLS) are an important, if not dominant, source of loss and noise for superconducting resonators such as those used in kinetic inductance detectors and some quant…
Hierarchical phased-array antennas coupled to Al KIDs: a scalable architecture for multi-band mm/submm focal planes
Jean-Marc Martin, Junhan Kim, Fabien Defrance +5
We present the optical characterization of two-scale hierarchical phased-array antenna kinetic inductance detectors (KIDs) for millimeter/submillimeter wavelengths. Our KIDs have a…
Flat silicon gradient index lens with deep reactive-ion-etched 3-layer anti-reflection structure for millimeter and submillimeter wavelengths
Fabien Defrance, Cecile Jung-Kubiak, John Gill +5
We present the design, fabrication, and characterization of a 100 mm diameter, flat, gradient-index (GRIN) lens fabricated with high-resistivity silicon, combined with a three-laye…
Bolocam Observations of Two Unconfirmed Galaxy Cluster Candidates from the Planck Early SZ Sample
Jack Sayers, Nicole G. Czakon, Carrie Bridge +5
We present Bolocam observations of two galaxy cluster candidates reported as unconfirmed in the Planck early Sunyaev-Zel'dovich (eSZ) sample, PLCKESZ G115.71+17.52 and PLCKESZ G189…
Cluster morphologies and model-independent Y_SZ estimates from Bolocam Sunyaev-Zel'dovich images
Jack Sayers, Sunil R. Golwala, Silvia Ameglio +1
We present initial results from our ongoing program to image the Sunyaev-Zel'dovich (SZ) effect in galaxy clusters at 143 GHz using Bolocam; five clusters and one blank field are d…
