Design and Performance of Hafnium Optical and Near-IR Kinetic Inductance Detectors
Nicholas Zobrist, Grégoire Coiffard, Bruce Bumble +9
We report on the design and performance of Microwave Kinetic Inductance Detectors (MKIDs) sensitive to single photons in the optical to near-infrared range using hafnium as the sen…
Optical and Near-IR Microwave Kinetic Inductance Detectors (MKIDs) in the 2020s
Benjamin A. Mazin, Jeb Bailey, Jo Bartlett +22
Optical and near-IR Microwave Kinetic Inductance Detectors, or MKIDs, are superconducting photon counting detectors capable of measuring the energy and arrival time of individual O…
Wide-band Parametric Amplifier Readout and Resolution of Optical Microwave Kinetic Inductance Detectors
Nicholas Zobrist, Byeong Ho Eom, Peter Day +9
The energy resolution of a single photon counting Microwave Kinetic Inductance Detector (MKID) can be degraded by noise coming from the primary low temperature amplifier in the det…
Stochastic Speckle Discrimination with Time-Tagged Photon Lists: Digging Below the Speckle Noise Floor
Alex B. Walter, Clinton Bockstiegel, Timothy D. Brandt +1
We present an algorithm that uses the distribution of photon arrival times to distinguish speckles from incoherent sources, like planets and disks, in high contrast images. Using s…
