Photon-noise limited sensitivity in titanium nitride kinetic inductance detectors

Johannes Hubmayr, Jim Beall, Dan Becker +14

We demonstrate photon-noise limited performance at sub-millimeter wavelengths in feedhorn-coupled, microwave kinetic inductance detectors (MKIDs) made of a TiN/Ti/TiN trilayer supe…
