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…
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…
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…
A Millimeter-Wave Photometric Camera for Long-Range Imaging Through Optical Obscurants Using Kinetic Inductance Detectors
Jack Sayers, Daniel Cunnane, Sage Crystian +16
Passive imaging through optical obscurants is a promising application for mm-wave sensing. We have thus developed the Superconducting Kinetic Inductance Passive Radiometer (SKIPR),…
