Design and performance of dual-polarization lumped-element kinetic inductance detectors for millimeter-wave polarimetry
Aims. Lumped-element kinetic inductance detectors (LEKIDs) are an attractive technology for millimeter-wave observations that require large arrays of extremely low-noise detectors. We designed, fabricated and characterized 64-element (128 LEKID) arrays of horn-coupled, dual-polarization LEKIDs optimized for ground-based CMB polarimetry. Our devices are sensitive to two orthogonal polarizations ...
متن کاملHorn-coupled, commercially-fabricated aluminum lumped-element kinetic inductance detectors for millimeter wavelengths.
We discuss the design, fabrication, and testing of prototype horn-coupled, lumped-element kinetic inductance detectors (LEKIDs) designed for cosmic microwave background studies. The LEKIDs are made from a thin aluminum film deposited on a silicon wafer and patterned using standard photolithographic techniques at STAR Cryoelectronics, a commercial device foundry. We fabricated 20-element arrays,...

متن کاملDesign, fabrication, and testing of lumped element kinetic inductance detectors for 3 mm CMB Observations
Kinetic inductance detectors (KIDs) are a promising technology for low-noise, highly-multiplexible mmand submm-wave detection. KIDs have a number of advantages over other detector technologies, which make them an appealing option in the cosmic microwave background B-mode anisotropy search, including passive frequency domain multiplexing and relatively simple fabrication, but have suffered from ...
متن کاملNIKA: A millimeter-wave kinetic inductance camera
Context. Current generation millimeter wavelength detectors suffer from scaling limits imposed by complex cryogenic readout electronics. These instruments typically employ multiplexing ratios well below a hundred. To achieve multiplexing ratios greater than a thousand, it is imperative to investigate technologies that intrinsically incorporate strong multiplexing. One possible solution is the k...
