    Notizen: Heterodyne measurements have been made at 533 GHz using a novel superconducting hot-electron bolometer in a waveguide mixer. The bolometer is a 0.3 μm long niobium microbridge with a superconducting transition temperature of 5 K. The short length ensures that electron diffusion dominates over electron-phonon interactions as the electron cooling mechanism, which should allow heterodyne detection with intermediate frequencies (if) of several GHz. A Y-factor response of 1.15 dB has been obtained at an if of 1.4 GHz with 77 and 295 K loads, indicating a receiver noise temperature of 650 K DSB. The −3 dB rolloff in the if response occurs at 1.7 GHz. © 1996 American Institute of Physics.

    Low noise in a diffusion-cooled hot-electron mixer at 2.5 THz (1997)

    Notizen: The noise performance of a Nb hot-electron bolometer mixer at 2.5 THz has been investigated. The devices are fabricated from a 12-nm-thick Nb film, and have a 0.30 μm×0.15 μm in-plane size, thus exploiting diffusion as the electron cooling mechanism. The rf coupling was provided by a twin-slot planar antenna on an elliptical Si lens. The experimentally measured double sideband noise temperature of the receiver was as low as 2750±250 K with an estimated mixer noise temperature of (approximate)900 K. The mixer bandwidth derived from both noise bandwidth and IF impedance measurements was (approximate)1.4 GHz. These results demonstrate the low-noise operation of the diffusion-cooled bolometer mixer above 2 THz. © 1997 American Institute of Physics.

    Length scaling of bandwidth and noise in hot-electron superconducting mixers (1996)
    Woodbury, NY : American Institute of Physics (AIP)

    Thema: Physik
    Notizen: Mixing experiments have been performed at frequencies from 4 to 20 GHz on Nb thin-film superconducting hot-electron bolometers varying in length from 0.08 to 3 μm. The intermediate frequency (IF) bandwidth is found to vary as L−2, with L the bridge length, for devices shorter than (square root of)12 Le−ph≈1 μm, with Le−ph the electron-phonon length. The shortest device has an IF bandwidth greater than 6 GHz, the largest reported for a low-Tc superconducting bolometric mixer. The conversion efficiencies range from −5 to −11 dB (single sideband, SSB). For short bridges, the mixer noise temperature is found to be as low as 100 K (double sideband, DSB), with little length dependence. The local oscillator power required is small, ≈10 nW. Such mixers are very promising for low-noise THz heterodyne receivers. © 1996 American Institute of Physics.

    Performance limitations of niobium-based submillimeter-wave quasiparticle mixers operating near the gap frequency (1995)

    Notizen: We have measured the noise temperature of heterodyne receivers employing Nb/AlOx/Nb tunnel junction mixers at frequencies ranging from 70% to 93% of the gap frequency of niobium (∼700 GHz). The sensitivity of the receiver is decreased by the overlap of the n=1 and n=2 photon steps of opposite sign. At bias voltages where these photon steps overlap, there is an increase in receiver noise up to 50%. Theoretical calculations using the Tucker theory agree well with the observed mixer performance. This overlap already affects the receiver operation for best performance at frequencies well below 700 GHz. © 1995 American Institute of Physics.

    230 and 492 GHz low noise sis waveguide receivers employing tuned Nb/AlOx/Nb tunnel junctions (1995)

    Notizen: Abstract We report results on two full height waveguide receivers that cover the 200–290 GHz and 380–510 GHz atmospheric windows. The receivers are part of the facility instrumentation at the Caltech Submillimeter Observatory on Mauna Kea in Hawaii. We have measured receiver noise temperatures in the range of 20K–35K DSB in the 200–290 GHz band, and 65–90K DSB in the 390–510 GHz atmospheric band. In both instances low mixer noise temperatures and very high quantum efficiency have been achieved. Conversion gain (3 dB) is possible with the 230 GHz receiver, however lowest noise and most stable operation is achieved with unity conversion gain. A 40% operating bandwidth is achieved by using a RF compensated junction mounted in a two-tuner full height waveguide mixer block. The tuned Nb/AlO x /Nb tunnel junctions incorporate an “end-loaded” tuning stub with two quarter-wave transformer sections to tune out the large junction capacitance. Both 230 and 492 GHz SIS junctions are 0.49µm2 in size and have current densities of 8 and 10 kA/cm2 respectively. Fourier Transform Spectrometer (FTS) measurements of the 230 and 492 GHz tuned junctions show good agreement with the measured heterodyne waveguide response.

    Low-Loss NbTiN Films for THz SIS Mixer Tuning Circuits (1998)

    Notizen: Abstract Recent results at 1 THz using normal-metal tuning circuits have shown that SIS mixers can work well up to twice the gap frequency of the junction material (niobium). However, the performance at 1 THz is limited by the substantial loss in the normal metal films. For better performance superconducting films with a higher gap frequency than niobium and with low RF loss are needed. Niobium nitride has long been considered a good candidate material, but typical NbN films suffer from high RF loss. To circumvent this problem we are currently investigating the RF loss in NbTiN films, a 15K Tc compound superconductor, by incorporating them into quasi-optical slot antenna SIS devices.
