Investigation of superconducting NbN hot-electron bolometers for terahertz direct detection

Jiaqiang Zhong, Wei Miao, Wen Zhang +2 more

In this paper, we report on the terahertz (THz) direct detection performance of two superconducting niobium nitride (NbN) hot-electron bolometers (HEBs) of different micro-bridge sizes. At the optimum bias point, the two HEB devices show similar thermal conductance (~80nW/K). The measured responsivity coincides well with the electrical responsivity calculated from the measured current-voltage (IV) curves at different bath temperatures. The noise equivalent power (NEP) of the two HEB devices is found to be about 10-12W/√Hz.

Characterization of Response Time of Superconducting NbN Hot Electron Bolometer Mixers

GuoAo Xie, Ruixuan Tang, Zhenlin Luo +6 more

Response time of a Superconducting Hot Electron Bolometer (HEB) mixers is a critical parameter, and significantly affects the intermediate frequency (IF) gain bandwidth. In this study, we investigated the effects of temperature and bias voltage on the response time. Response time of superconducting niobium nitride (NbN) HEB mixers were measured by using the pumpprobe technique at temperatures of 5 K, 7 K, and 9 K with different bias voltages. The measured response time ranged from 50 to 80 ps and decreased with increasing temperature and bias voltage. This approach provides a more comprehensive understanding of the thermal transport mechanisms in superconducting HEB mixers, which can ultimately lead to improved performance and properties of the HEB mixers.
