Tunable responsivity and bandwidth in microwave kinetic inductance detectors via readout current nonlinearity
Maclean Rouble, Peter Day, Matt Dobbs +3
Microwave kinetic inductance detectors (MKIDs) are generally read out with microwave readout tones of high enough amplitude to adequately suppress the noise contribution of the fir…
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…
Dark matter searches with a 13 meV threshold superconducting sensor array
Christopher Albert, Lanqing Yuan, Jacob Harris +13
Many well-motivated dark matter models predict meV-scale energy deposits in interactions with terrestrial experiments, but this regime is challenging to probe due to a lack of matu…
