Superconductive parallel junctions arrays for Submm-wave local oscillator applications

We are developing Submillimiter-wave fully Integrated superconducting Receivers (SIRs) based on SIS mixer and SIS Multijunction operating as local oscillator. In deed, Multijunctionbased FFOs may be an interesting alternative to LJJ-based FFOs in SIRs, allowing wide LO tunability, wide impedance matching bandwidths, and increased design flexibility and control of technological parameters. In this paper, we will present a numerical study of the Josephson electrodynamics in this kind of device and measurement results of output power from 5 junction array with current density of ~ 10 kA/cm2 at submm-wave frequencies. 18th International Symposium on Space Terahertz Technology

In order to develop Submillimiter-wave fully Integrated Superconducting Receivers (SIRs) based on parallel small SIS junction arrays (multijunction) operating as local oscillator, we investigate their performance through measurement and simulation. Multijunction may be an interesting alternative to LJJ because it allows wide LO tunability, wide impedance matching bandwidths and increase design flexibility and control of technological parameters.

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

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.
