An Open Source RFSoC-based Readout Electronics System for Arrays of Kinetic Inductance Detectors and Superconducting Resonators
Cody Roberson, Nia McNichols, Jack Sayers +12
We present a novel readout electronics system for large arrays of superconducting electromagnetic resonators, such as kinetic inductance detectors (KIDs), based on a Radio Frequenc…
Low-Frequency Noise Performance of Microstrip-Coupled Lumped-Element Aluminum KIDs using Hydrogenated Amorphous Silicon Parallel-Plate Capacitors for NEW-MUSIC
Simon Hempel-Costello, Andrew D. Beyer, Dan Cunnane +11
We present measurements of the low-frequency noise of microstrip-coupled, lumped-element aluminum kinetic inductance detectors that use hydrogenated amorphous silicon parallel-plat…
MgB Thermal Kinetic Inductance Detector
T. Jabbari, A. Hawkins, A. Wandui +6
Thermal Kinetic Inductance Detectors (TKIDs) inherently combine the phonon-limited noise performance of traditional bolometers with the array scalability and responsivity of superc…
Improved Modeling of Quasi-Static Thermal and Optical Response of Lumped-Element Aluminum Manganese KIDs
Adriana Gavidia, Sunil Golwala, Andrew D. Beyer +11
We report on the optical characterization of the AlMn kinetic inductance detectors (KIDs) in development for use in the Next-generation Extended Wavelength-MUltiband Sub/millimeter…
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),…
