Selective state space model for photon energy estimation in microwave kinetic inductance detectors
Benjamin A. Mazin
Microwave Kinetic Inductance Detectors (MKIDs) are superconducting photon counting detectors that simultaneously measure the energy and arrival time of individual photons and are s…
MKIDGen3: Energy-Resolving, Single-Photon-Counting MKID Readout on an RFSoC
Jennifer Pearl Smith, John I. Bailey, III. +3
Building large, cryogenic MKID arrays requires processing highly-multiplexed, wideband readout signals in real time; a task that has previously required large, heavy, and power-int…
Improved Flexible Coaxial Ribbon Cable for High-Density Superconducting Arrays
Jennifer Pearl Smith, Benjamin A. Mazin, Alirio Boaventura +2
Superconducting arrays often require specialized, high-density cryogenic cabling capable of transporting electrical signals across temperature stages with minimal loss, crosstalk,…
Characterizing the Dark Count Rate of a Large-Format MKID Array
Noah Swimmer, W. Hawkins Clay, Nicholas Zobrist +1
We present an empirical measurement of the dark count rate seen in a large-format MKID array identical to those currently in use at observatories such as Subaru on Maunakea. This w…
Surveying Nearby Brown Dwarfs with HGCA: Direct Imaging Discovery of a Faint, High-Mass Brown Dwarf Orbiting HD 176535 A
Yiting Li, Timothy D. Brandt, G. Mirek Brandt +16
Brown dwarfs with well-measured masses, ages and luminosities provide direct benchmark tests of substellar formation and evolutionary models. We report the first results from a dir…
Probing Photon Statistics in Adaptive Optics Images with SCExAO/MEC
Sarah Steiger, Timothy D. Brandt, Olivier Guyon +11
We present an experimental study of photon statistics for high-contrast imaging with the Microwave Kinetic Inductance Detector (MKID) Exoplanet Camera (MEC) located behind the Suba…
