Demonstration of Individual Readout of Serially-Connected Superconducting Strip Line Detectors

Kyohei Kamiya, Yuma Kita, Misaki Kozaka +3 more

We report successful demonstration of individual readout of the response to an optical signal in serially-connected superconducting strip line detectors (SSLDs). Based on the numerical analysis, placement of low-pass filters between adjacent SSLDs and use of a current-source drive enable serially-connected SSLDs to work as independent multiple SSLDs. This leads to reduction of the number of cables from room temperature electronics. We irradiate a laser just on a certain SSLD (SSLD#1) with On/Off modulation. Synchronized voltage output is obtained at only corresponding SQUID. Then we move the position of a laser spot on the neighbor SSLD (SSLD#2). The voltage disappears at the SQUID connecting to SSLD#1, and the voltage is developed only at the SQUID connecting to SSLD#2. We have also given a demonstration of readout using the single-flux-quantum circuits connected to the SQUIDs. We confirmed from those experimental results that our driving method for multiple SSLDs is effective not only to enhance detecting area but also to obtain position sensitivity.

Flexible Superconducting Passive Interconnects with 50-Gb/s Signal Transmissions in Single-Flux-Quantum Circuits

Takahiro Yamada, Hirofumi Ryoki, Akira Fujimaki +1 more

We have developed a very flexible wiring technique of passive transmission lines (PTLs) in single-flux-quantum (SFQ) circuits. For high flexibility, we introduced two types of wiring structures of strip lines (SLs) and microstrip lines (MSLs) using the fabrication process which has four metal layers. The SLs and MSLs are realized using the second and fourth metal layers as signal lines, respectively, from the bottom (the other two metal layers are used as ground planes). We also introduced via-holes for transmission between the SL and MSL. For solving the problem of impedance mismatch on complicated discontinuous sections such as joints [between the driver(receiver) and the end of SLs(MSLs)] and via-holes, we optimized the structures of these discontinuous sections and evaluated propagation properties to ensure high-speed transmission of SFQ pulses. We tested the transmission of SFQ pulses through SLs/MSLs including more than 50 via-holes, one of the most complicated lines in actual designs. We confirmed the good propagation properties of SFQ pulses up to 50 Gb/s with sufficiently wide bias margins of ±20% to be used in practical designs.
