Generation of Constant Voltage Steps by a Josephson Array Driven by Optoelectronically Generated Pulses at BNM-LNE

Here we report the first results obtained at BNM-LNE on a Josephson array biased by optoelectronically generated pulse trains over repetition frequencies, f, from 0.5 to 1.75 MHz. For all the frequencies, we have observed quantized voltage steps as a function of the current pulse amplitude Ip. We demonstrate the independence of the step widths with f in close agreement with the numerical simulations and we confirm the flatness of a single voltage step

Observation of Quantized Voltage Steps Using a Josephson Junction Array Driven by Optoelectronically Generated Pulses

Chiharu Urano, Nobu‐Hisa Kaneko, Masaaki Maezawa +5 more

In this paper, quantized voltage steps were observed by driving an overdamped Josephson junction array (JJA) with current pulse trains. The current pulse trains were generated by triggering a metal-semiconductor-metal photodetector installed close to JJA at 4.2 K with a mode-locked fiber laser. The intervals of the constant voltage steps were 10 muV, which agrees with the repetition frequency of the light source (49.7 MHz) and the number of Josephson junctions (100) in the JJA. This is the first step toward establishing an ac voltage standard at the National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology
