Spatial Mapping and Capacitor Trimming Developments to Improve Usable Pixel Yield in PRIMA FIRESS Kilo-Pixel Arrays
Chris Albert, Jonathon Hunacek, Hien Nguyen +15
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…
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…
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…
