PRIMA prototype spaceflight KID readout electronics laboratory characterization
Adrian K. Sinclair, Chris Albert, C. Matt Bradford +28
We present further development and testing of prototype kinetic inductance detector (KID) readout electronics for the PRobe far-Infrared Mission for Astrophysics (PRIMA). PRIMA is…
Nonequilibrium pulse dynamics and metastable latching in nonlinear kinetic inductance detectors
M. Rouble, C. Albert, P. Day +3
Microwave kinetic inductance detectors are typically operated at high readout power to raise the detector signal above system noise. At sufficiently large readout power, the curren…
Spatial Mapping and Capacitor Trimming Developments to Improve Usable Pixel Yield in PRIMA FIRESS Kilo-Pixel Arrays
Chris Albert, Jonathon Hunacek, Hien Nguyen +14
The Probe far-Infrared Mission for Astrophysics (PRIMA) will use 8 kilo-pixel kinetic inductance detector (KID) arrays in its spectrometer module. We present an improved resonant f…
Radiation Total Dose for PRIMA: Cold Exposure with Alpha Particles
Elijah Kane, Chris Albert, Andrew Beyer +11
The Probe far-Infrared Mission for Astrophysics (PRIMA) is a far-infrared (24-261 micron wavelengths) probe-class space observatory currently under Phase A study, which promises or…
In Situ Interferometric Spatial Mapping Of A Microwave Kinetic Inductance Detector Array
Chris Albert, Ritoban Basu Thakur, Farzad Faramarzi +7
We present a method of spatially mapping microwave kinetic inductance detector (MKID) arrays, in a dark setup. MKIDs are superconducting natively multiplexed resonators which enabl…
Development of an ultra-sensitive 210-micron array of KIDs for far-IR astronomy
Elijah Kane, Chris Albert, Nicholas Cothard +13
The Probe far-Infrared Mission for Astrophysics (PRIMA) is a proposed space observatory which will use arrays of thousands of kinetic inductance detectors (KIDs) to perform low- an…
A 25-micron single photon sensitive kinetic inductance detector
Peter K. Day, Nicholas F. Cothard, Christopher Albert +15
We report measurements characterizing the performance of a kinetic inductance detector array designed for a wavelength of 25 microns and very low optical background level suitable…
Modeling of cosmic rays and near-IR photons in aluminum KIDs
Elijah Kane, Chris Albert, Ritoban Basu Thakur +13
The PRobe far-Infrared Mission for Astrophysics (PRIMA) is working to develop kinetic inductance detectors (KIDs) that can meet the sensitivity targets of a far-infrared spectromet…
High-sensitivity Kinetic Inductance Detector Arrays for the Probe Far-Infrared Mission for Astrophysics
Logan Foote, Chris Albert, Jochem Baselmans +15
Far-infrared (far-IR) astrophysics missions featuring actively cooled telescopes will offer orders of magnitude observing speed improvement at wavelengths where galaxies and formin…
Parallel Plate Capacitor Aluminum KIDs for Future Far-Infrared Space-Based Observatories
Nicholas F. Cothard, Christopher Albert, Andrew D. Beyer +12
Future space-based far-infrared astrophysical observatories will require exquis-itely sensitive detectors consistent with the low optical backgrounds. The PRobe far-Infrared Missio…
