Microwave Current Imaging in Passive HTS Components by Low-Temperature Laser Scanning Microscopy (LTLSM)
نویسندگان
چکیده
We have used the Low-Temperature Laser Scanning Microscope (LTLSM) technique for a spatially resolved investigation of the microwave transport properties, nonlinearities, and material inhomogeneities in an operating coplanar waveguide YBa2Cu3O7−δ (YBCO) microwave resonator on a LaAlO3 (LAO) substrate. The influence of twin-domain blocks, in-plane rotated grains, and micro-cracks in the YBCO film on the nonuniform radiofrequency (rf) current distribution was measured with a micrometer-scale spatial resolution. The impact of the peaked edge currents and rf field penetration into weak links on the linear device performance were also studied. The LTLSM capabilities and its future potential for nondestructive characterization of the microwave properties of superconducting circuits are discussed.

Sea surface temperature (SST) is an important parameter used in many applications, such as fisheries, weather forecasting as boundary condition, and monitoring of climate changes. In these applications, SST is necessary under both fine and cloudy conditions, which can be made by passive microwave radiometers in particular under cloudy condition. To measure SST by microwave radiometers, frequenc...
