Microwave Characteristics of Microwave Kinetic Inductance Detectors Using Rewound Spiral Resonators Array

Kei Hayashi, Atsushi SAITO, Taisuke Sawada +5 more

We investigated microwave characteristics of microwave kinetic inductance detectors (MKIDs) using rewound spiral resonators called as spiral-MKIDs. To realize 25-array spiral-MKIDs, frequency characteristics of 25 resonators with different resonant frequencies should be equal. We proposed spiral-MKIDs with expanded and contracted symmetric spiral resonator. We conducted simulations for 25 arrays and obtained maximum return losses of over 12 dB and unloaded quality factors of over 230,000 for frequencies between 3.2 and 3.4 GHz. This symmetric resonator may be useful for realization of large array MKIDs.

Characterization of the quasiparticle lifetime of microwave kinetic inductance detector

Zhi Li, Wei-Tao Lv, Qing Shi +3 more

We design and fabricate a 350GHz 8×8 Al Microwave Kinetic Inductance Detector (MKIDs) array for the demonstration of its characteristics, mainly focus on the quasiparticle lifetime of the resonators. The quasiparticle lifetime data is collected by measuring a resonator’s phase response to a LED pulse at resonant frequency in a dilution refrigerator cooled to mK stage. We also measure and discuss the influence of various parameters on the change of quasiparticle lifetime, including different LED voltage supply, bath temperature of the MKIDs, and superconducting film thickness.

Characterization of NB and TiN superconducting CPW lines with thru-line calibration method

Wei-Tao Lv, Jie Hu, Jing-Pin Yang +2 more

Microwave kinetic inductance detectors (MKIDs) are playing an increasingly role in THz astronomy. Superconducting coplanar waveguide (CPW) lines are commonly adopted in MKIDs for the resonators as well as the readout through line. It is therefore of particular interest to characterize the transmission properities of superconducting CPW lines at low temperatures. A cryogenic through-line method based on two cryogenic RF switches is proposed to characterize Nb and TiN superconducting CPW lines. On-chip calibration has been successfully carried out. Detailed results and analysis will be presented.
