390–480 GHz photon-assisted tunneling steps generated by parallel Josephson tunnel junction arrays

Faouzi M. Boussaha, A. Féret, Christine Chaumont +9 more

We report on the first direct detection of submillimeter waves emitted by small parallel tunnel junction arrays. The arrays made up of 10 and 20 Nb/Al-AlOx/Nb junctions of 6 μm2is integrated and coupled in RF to Nb/Al-AlOx/Nb twin junction-based detector by a microstrip/slotline transition. The detector's I-V curve exhibits clearly photonassisted steps when the array is biased on the corresponding Josephson resonance at 390 and 480 GHz. These results are of particular significance in the light of previous work done on this type of devices. The arrays are specially suited for applications such as clock for RSFQ electronics or as local oscillator for THz superconducting integrated receivers.

Bolometric response in graphene based superconducting tunnel junctions

Heli Vora, Piranavan Kumaravadivel, B. Nielsen +1 more

We fabricate graphene-TiOx-aluminum tunnel junctions and characterize their radio frequency response. Below the superconducting critical temperature of aluminum and when biased within the superconducting gap, the devices show enhanced dynamic resistance which increases with decreasing temperature. Application of radio frequency radiation affects the dynamic resistance through electronic heating. The relation between the electron temperature rise and the absorbed radiation power is measured, from which the bolometric parameters, including heat conductance, noise equivalent power, and responsivity, are characterized.

Review of low-noise radio-frequency amplifiers based on superconducting quantum interference device

Y.H. Lee, Yonuk Chong, Yannis Kyriakos Semertzidis

Superconducting quantum interference device (SQUID) is a sensitive detector of magnetic flux signals. Up to now, the main application of SQUIDs has been measurements of magnetic flux signals in the frequency range from near DC to several MHz. Recently, cryogenic low-noise radio-frequency (RF) amplifiers based on DC SQUID are under development aiming to detect RF signals with sensitivity approaching quantum limit. In this paper, we review the recent progress of cryogenic low-noise RF amplifiers based on SQUID technology.
