The MKID Exoplanet Camera for Subaru SCExAO
Alexander B. Walter, Neelay Fruitwala, Sarah Steiger +21
We present the MKID Exoplanet Camera (MEC), a z through J band (800 - 1400 nm) integral field spectrograph located behind The Subaru Coronagraphic Extreme Adaptive Optics (SCExAO)…
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…
DARKNESS: A Microwave Kinetic Inductance Detector Integral Field Spectrograph for High-Contrast Astronomy
Seth R. Meeker, Benjamin A. Mazin, Alex B. Walter +21
We present DARKNESS (the DARK-speckle Near-infrared Energy-resolving Superconducting Spectrophotometer), the first of several planned integral field spectrographs to use optical/ne…
Large-format platinum silicide microwave kinetic inductance detectors for optical to near-IR astronomy
P. Szypryt, S. R. Meeker, G. Coiffard +10
We have fabricated and characterized 10,000 and 20,440 pixel Microwave Kinetic Inductance Detector (MKID) arrays for the Dark-speckle Near-IR Energy-resolved Superconducting Spectr…
Highly Multiplexible Thermal Kinetic Inductance Detectors for X-Ray Imaging Spectroscopy
Gerhard Ulbricht, Benjamin A. Mazin, Paul Szypryt +3
For X-ray imaging spectroscopy, high spatial resolution over a large field of view is often as important as high energy resolution, but current X-ray detectors do not provide both…
Science with KRAKENS
Benjamin A. Mazin, George Becker, Kevin France +12
The Keck science community is entering an era of unprecedented change. Powerful new instrument like ZTF, JWST, LSST, and the ELTs will catalyze this change, and we must be ready to…
