Significant noise improvement in a Kinetic Inductance Phonon-Mediated detector by use of a wideband parametric amplifier

Karthik Ramanathan, Osmond Wen, Taylor Aralis +9

Microwave Kinetic Inductance Detectors (MKIDs) have been demonstrated as capable phonon sensors when coupled to crystalline substrates, and have been proposed as detectors for next…
