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…
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),…
A 25-micron single photon sensitive kinetic inductance detector
Peter K. Day, Nicholas F. Cothard, Christopher Albert +15
We report measurements characterizing the performance of a kinetic inductance detector array designed for a wavelength of 25 microns and very low optical background level suitable…
Parallel-Plate Capacitor Titanium Nitride Kinetic Inductance Detectors for Infrared Astronomy
Joanna Perido, Peter K. Day, Andrew D. Beyer +5
The Balloon Experiment for Galactic INfrared Science (BEGINS) is a concept for a sub-orbital observatory that will operate from = 25-250 m to characterize dust in the vicini…
Parallel Plate Capacitor Aluminum KIDs for Future Far-Infrared Space-Based Observatories
Nicholas F. Cothard, Christopher Albert, Andrew D. Beyer +12
Future space-based far-infrared astrophysical observatories will require exquis-itely sensitive detectors consistent with the low optical backgrounds. The PRobe far-Infrared Missio…
Nonlinearity and wideband parametric amplification in an NbTiN microstrip transmission line
Shibo Shu, Nikita Klimovich, Byeong Ho Eom +4
The nonlinear response associated with the current dependence of the superconducting kinetic inductance was studied in capacitively shunted NbTiN microstrip transmission lines. It…
Improving the dynamic range of single photon counting kinetic inductance detectors
Nicholas Zobrist, Nikita Klimovich, Byeong Ho Eom +8
We develop a simple coordinate transformation which can be employed to compensate for the nonlinearity introduced by a Microwave Kinetic Inductance Detector's (MKID) homodyne reado…
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…
MAKO: a pathfinder instrument for on-sky demonstration of low-cost 350 micron imaging arrays
Loren J. Swenson, Peter K. Day, Charles D. Dowell +10
Submillimeter cameras now have up to pixels (SCUBA 2). The proposed CCAT 25-meter submillimeter telescope will feature a 1 degree field-of-view. Populating the focal plane a…
