  Title Effect of the direct detection effect on the HEB receiver sensitivity calibration Type Conference Article
  Year 2005 Publication Proc. 16th Int. Symp. Space Terahertz Technol. Abbreviated Journal (up)  
  Volume Issue Pages 235-239  
  Keywords HEB, mixer, direct detection effect  
  Abstract We analyze the scale of the HEB receiver sensitivity calibration error caused by the so called “direct detection effect”. The effect comes from changing of the HEB parameters when whey face the calibration loads of different temperatures. We found that for HIFI Band 6 mixers (Herschel Space Observatory) the noise temperature error is of the order of 8% for 300K/77K loads (lab receiver) and 2.5% for 100K/10K loads (in HIFI). Using different approach we also predict that with an isolator between the mixer and the low noise amplifiers the error can be much smaller.

  Title A 1.3-THz balanced waveguide HEB mixer for the APEX telescope Type Journal Article
  Year 2009 Publication IEEE Trans. Microw. Theory Techn. Abbreviated Journal (up)  
  Volume 57 Issue 1 Pages 89-98  
  Keywords HEB, mixer, waveguide, balanced, NbN  
  Abstract In this paper, we report about the development, fabrication, and characterization of a balanced waveguide hot electron bolometer (HEB) receiver for the Atacama Pathfinder EXperiment telescope covering the frequency band of 1.25–1.39 THz. The receiver uses a quadrature balanced scheme and two HEB mixers, fabricated from 4- to 5-nm-thick NbN film deposited on crystalline quartz substrate with an MgO buffer layer in between. We employed a novel micromachining method to produce all-metal waveguide parts at submicrometer accuracy (the main-mode waveguide dimensions are 90×180 μm). We present details on the mixer design and measurement results, including receiver noise performance, stability and “first-light” at the telescope site. The receiver yields a double-sideband noise temperature averaged over the RF band below 1200 K, and outstanding stability with a spectroscopic Allan time more than 200 s.

  Title Terahertz superconducting hot electron bolometer heterodyne receivers Type Journal Article
  Year 2007 Publication IEEE Trans. Appl. Supercond. Abbreviated Journal (up)  
  Volume 17 Issue 2 Pages 252-258  
  Keywords HEB, mixer, direct detection effect  
  Abstract We highlight the progress on NbN hot electron bolometer (HEB) mixers achieved through fruitful collaboration between SRON Netherlands Institute for Space Research and Delft University of Technology, the Netherlands. This includes the best receiver noise temperatures of 700 K at 1.63 THz using a twin-slot antenna mixer and 1050 K at 2.84 THz using a spiral antenna coupled HEB mixer. The mixers are based on thin NbN films on Si and fabricated with a new contact-process and-structure. By reducing their areas HEB mixers have shown an LO power requirement as low as 30 nW. Those small HEB mixers have demonstrated equivalent sensitivity as those with large areas provided the direct detection effect due to broadband radiation is removed. To manifest that a HEB based heterodyne receiver can in practice be used at arbitrary frequencies above 2 THz, we demonstrate a 2.8 THz receiver using a THz quantum cascade laser (QCL) as local oscillator.

  Title Near field vector beam measurements at 1 THz Type Journal Article
  Year 2003 Publication IEEE Microw. Compon. Lett. Abbreviated Journal (up)  
  Volume 13 Issue 6 Pages 235-237  
  Keywords HEB, mixer, waveguide, LO power, local oscillator power, saturation effect, dynamic range  
  Abstract We have performed near-field vector beam measurements at 1.03 THz to characterize and align the receiver optics of a superconducting receiver. The signal source is a harmonic generator mounted on an X-Y translation stage. We model the measured two-dimensional complex beam pattern by a fundamental Gaussian mode, from which we derive the position of the beam center, the beam radius and the direction of propagation. By performing scans in the planes separated by 400 mm, we have confirmed that our beam pattern measurements are highly reliable.

  Title NbN HEB mixer: fabrication, noise temperature reduction and characterization Type Conference Article
  Year 2008 Publication Proc. Basic problems of superconductivity Abbreviated Journal (up)  
  Volume Issue Pages  
  Keywords HEB, mixer, noise temperature, conversion gain bandwidth  
  Abstract We demonstrate that in the terahertz region superconducting hot-electron mixers offer the lowest noise temperature, opening the possibility of using HTS's in the future to fabricate these devices. Specifically, a noise temperature of 950 K was measured for the receiver operating at 2.5 THz with a NbN HEB mixer, and a gain bandwidth of 6 GHz was measured at 300 GHz near Tc for the same mixer.

  Title Direct detection effect in small volume hot electron bolometer mixers Type Journal Article
  Year 2005 Publication Appl. Phys. Lett. Abbreviated Journal (up) Appl. Phys. Lett.  
  Volume 86 Issue 16 Pages 163503 (1 to 3)  
  Keywords HEB, mixer, direct detection effect  
  Abstract We measure the direct detection effect in a small volume (0.15μm×1μm×3.5nm)(0.15μm×1μm×3.5nm) quasioptical NbN phonon cooled hot electronbolometermixer at 1.6THz1.6THz. We find that the small signal sensitivity of the receiver is underestimated by 35% due to the direct detection effect and that the optimal operating point is shifted to higher bias voltages when using calibration loads of 300K300K and 77K77K. Using a 200GHz200GHzbandpass filter at 4.2K4.2K the direct detection effect virtually disappears. This has important implications for the calibration procedure of these receivers in real telescope systems.
