This review presents the main characteristics and mechanisms of operation superconductor–insulator–normal metal–insulator–superconductor (SINIS) microwave detectors.

Methods for cooling superconductor using normal metal traps role electron in optimizing current response to terahertz radiation are discussed. Fabrication methods shadow evaporation as well magnetron sputtering described.

Optical/UV and X-Ray Microwave Kinetic Inductance Strip Detectors
Microwave Kinetic Inductance Detectors (MKIDs) are superconducting detectors that sense the change in the surface impedance of a thin superconducting film when Cooper Pairs are broken by using a high quality factor resonant circuit. We are developing strip detectors that have aluminum MKID sensors on both ends of a rectangular tantalum strip. These devices can provide one dimensional spatial im...
متن کاملTwo-level system noise reduction for Microwave Kinetic Inductance Detectors
Noise performance is one of the most crucial aspects of any detector. Superconducting Microwave Kinetic Inductance Detectors (MKIDs) have an “excess” frequency noise that shows up as a small time dependent jitter of the resonance frequency characterized by the frequency noise power spectrum measured in units of Hz/Hz. Recent studies have shown that this noise almost certainly originates from a ...
متن کاملA readout for large arrays of microwave kinetic inductance detectors.
Microwave kinetic inductance detectors (MKIDs) are superconducting detectors capable of counting single photons and measuring their energy in the UV, optical, and near-IR. MKIDs feature intrinsic frequency domain multiplexing (FDM) at microwave frequencies, allowing the construction and readout of large arrays. Due to the microwave FDM, MKIDs do not require the complex cryogenic multiplexing el...
متن کاملQuasiparticle Trapping in Microwave Kinetic Inductance Strip Detectors
Microwave Kinetic Inductance Detectors (MKIDs) are thin-film, superconducting resonators, which are attractive for making large detector arrays due to their natural frequency domain multiplexing at GHz frequencies. For X-ray to IR wavelengths, MKIDs can provide high-resolution energy and timing information for each incoming photon. By fabricating strip detectors consisting of a rectangular abso...
متن کاملBalanced optical-microwave phase detectors for optoelectronic phase-locked loops.
A balanced optical-microwave phase detector for the extraction of low-jitter, high-power, and drift-free microwave signals from optical pulse trains is presented. The phase detection is based on electro-optic sampling with a differentially biased Sagnac loop. Because the timing information is transferred in the optical domain, the regenerated microwave signal is robust against drifts and photod...
