Fabrication of Diffusion-Cooled Hot-Electron Bolometers Using Electron-Beam Lithography
Astronomical interest in observing phenomena within the terahertz frequency spectrum has driven demand for extremely sensitive heterodyne receivers. Traditionally, niobium-based SIS tunnel junctions are used by the radio astronomy community in such receivers for observations below 700GHz. Research on novel devices for heterodyne mixing aims to extend experimental capabilities of sensitive recei...
متن کاملThe space cryogenic submillimeter telescope based on hot
Extremely sensitive detectors are necessary for deep full-sky survey of distant extragalactic sources in the submillimeter-wave region by the cryogenically cooled telescope at the International Space Station (project Submillimetron). Detection of faint sources needs wide-band continuum observation using direct detectors (bolometers) not restricted by the quantum noise of indirect heterodyne rec...
متن کاملApplication of Superconducting Hot-Electron Bolometer Mixers for Terahertz-Band Astronomy
Recently, a next-generation heterodyne mixer detector— a hot electron bolometer (HEB) mixer employing a superconducting microbridge—has gradually opened up terahertz-band astronomy. The surrounding state-of-the-art technologies including fabrication processes, 4 K cryostats, cryogenic low-noise amplifiers, local oscillator sources, micromachining techniques, and spectrometers, as well as the HE...
متن کاملSuperconducting Microstrip-Fed Antenna Coupled to a Microwave Kinetic Inductance Detector
A proper antenna to couple to a microstrip Microwave Kinetic Inductance Detector (MKID) is designed and simulated. A twin-slot microstrip-fed inline antenna is designed for frequency band of 600-720~GHz integrated with an elliptical lens and coupled to the MKID. A systematic design procedure for design of such antenna with microstrip inline feeding is presented. Whole structure of lens and twin...
متن کاملHighly Tunable Fiber-Coupled Photomixers with Coherent Terahertz Output Power
Low-temperature-grown (LTG) GaAs is used as an optical-heterodyne converter or photomixer, to generate coherent continuous-wave (CW) output radiation at frequencies up to 5 THz. Photomixers consist of an epitaxial LTG-GaAs layer that is patterned with interdigitated metal electrodes, on which two laser beams are focused with their frequencies offset by the desired difference frequency. The diff...
