Optimized Nonuniform Nb SIS Parallel Josephson Junction Array Oscillators

We developed submillimeter superconducting oscillators using Josephson effects in the Nb-based superconductor-insulator-superconductor (SIS) parallel array. The radiation emitted from the array is detected using integrated SIS twin junctions. Despite the small junction number (N = 21), the (I-V ) characteristics of the detector clearly exhibit photon-assisted quasiparticle steps when the array is biased upon its Josephson resonances, ranging from 370 to 500 GHz. The array has a moderate current density (Jc≈= 6 kA/cm2) but provides an output power around 0.28 μW, which would be sufficient in achieving sensitive heterodyne reception. The impedance array can be matched easier to microwave circuits than the usual long Josephson junctions. Furthermore, the parallel array approach can be also extended up to about 1.4 THz using Nb-based SIS junctions.

Microwave coupling of the Josephson junction arrays with an external source

Insang Song, Yunsung Huh, Gwangseo Park +4 more

We have fabricated a YBa/sub 2/Cu/sub 3/O/sub y/ (YBCO) array of five Josephson junctions designed with additional inductive coupling lines (AICLs). The junctions in this array were dc-biased in parallel to oscillate coherently in-phase and integrated with AICLs to improve the impedance matching between this array and external circuits such as a waveguide. The effect of AICLs was investigated by studying its influence on the current-voltage characteristics of the Josephson junction array (JJA) under external microwave irradiations with frequency of 22 GHz. The experimental results show that the behavior of the Shapiro-steps depends upon the effective inductance of AICLs which affects the total impedance and microwave coupling. We were able to obtain an oscillation frequency of about 73% of the maximum available frequency calculated from the characteristic voltage of the Josephson junctions in the array at a temperature of 12 K. By calculating the total impedance of the array, we obtained the suitable parameters of the array for microwave coupling with waveguide for various values of inductance, ac frequencies and number of Josephson junctions.
