Title Waveguide Hot Electron Bolometer Mixer development for upGREAT Type Journal Article
Year 2014 Publication Kosma Abbreviated Journal
Volume Issue Pages (up)
Keywords
Abstract We report on our hot electron bolometer mixer development for the focal plane array extension upGREAT of the German Receiver for Astronomy at Terahertz frequencies (GREAT) operated on SOFIA. For (up)GREAT we have pushed the waveguide technology to 4.7 THz and present RF performance results. We describe the RF planar circuit design, the micro fabrication employing NbN microbridges on 2 µm thin Si membrane substrates and the machining technology used for the waveguides. One of the 4.7 THz mixers was used in the high frequency channel on GREAT in May 2014 and performed as expected from the laboratory characterization.

Title Dark counts initiated by macroscopic quantum tunneling in NbN superconducting photon detectors Type Miscellaneous
Year 2014 Publication arXiv Abbreviated Journal
Volume Issue Pages (up)
Keywords NbN SSPD
Abstract We perform measurements of the switching current distributions of three w = 120 nm wide, 4 nm thick NbN superconducting strips which are used for single-photon detectors. These strips are much wider than the diameter the vortex cores, so they are classified as quasi-two-dimensional (quasi-2D). We discover evidence of macroscopic quantum tunneling by observing the saturation of the standard deviation of the switching distributions at temperatures around 2 K. We analyze our results using the Kurkijarvi-Garg model and find that the escape temperature also saturates at low temperatures, confirming that at sufficiently low temperatures, macroscopic quantum tunneling is possible in quasi-2D strips and can contribute to dark counts observed in single photon detectors.

Title Tunable frequency-selective surface based on superconducting split-ring resonators Type Conference Article
Year 2014 Publication 8th Metamaterials Abbreviated Journal 8th Metamaterials
Volume Issue Pages (up)
Keywords superconducting split-ring resonators
Abstract We study a possibility to use the 2D superconducting metamaterial as a tunable frequency-selective surface (FSS). The proposed FSS is made of sub-wavelength size (l/14) metamaterial unit cells, where a split-ring resonator is embedded in a small iris aperture in a metal plane. The split-ring resonator is made of NbN film, and its resonance frequency is tuned by the temperature of the sample, changing the kinetic inductance of NbN film. The Ansoft HFSS simulation predicts the FSS tuning range of about 10-20 %. The developed superconducting FSS may be used as a tunable band-pass filter or modulator.

Title RF heating efficiency of the terahertz superconducting hot-electron bolometer Type Journal Article
Year 2014 Publication arXiv Abbreviated Journal arXiv
Volume 1404.5276 Issue Pages (up) 1-4
Keywords superconducting hot-electron bolometer mixer, HEB, NbN, distributed model, HEB model, HEB mixer model, heat balance equa-tions, conversion gain, RF heating efficiency, noise temperature, simulation, Euler method
Abstract We report results of the numerical solution by the Euler method of the system of heat balance equations written in recurrent form for the superconducting hot-electron bolometer (HEB) embedded in an electrical circuit. By taking into account the dependence of the HEB resistance on the transport current we have been able to calculate rigorously the RF heating efficiency, absorbed local oscillator (LO) power and conversion gain of the HEB mixer. We show that the calculated conversion gai nis in excellent agreement with the experimental results, and that the substitution of the calculated RF heating efficiency and absorbed LO power into the expressions for the conversion gain and noise temperature given by the analytical small-signal model of the HEB yields excellent agreement with the corresponding measured values

Abstract We have developed a phase-locking system of a 3.1THz QCL (Quantum Cascade Laser) using a low noise hot electron bolometer mixer (HEBM) and a THz reference. The THz reference was generated by photomixing two optical modes of a frequency comb. The THz-QCL and HEBM devices are fabricated in our laboratory. A line width of the phase-locked QCL of narrower than 1Hz was achieved.

Title Quantum key distribution over 300 Type Conference Article
Year 2014 Publication Proc. SPIE Abbreviated Journal Proc. SPIE
Volume 9440 Issue Pages (up) 1F (1 to 9)
Keywords SSPD, SNSPD applicatins, quantum key distribution, QKD
Abstract We discuss the possibility of polarization state reconstruction and measurement over 302 km by Superconducting Single- Photon Detectors (SSPDs). Because of the excellent characteristics and the possibility to be effectively coupled to singlemode optical fiber many applications of the SSPD have already been reported. The most impressive one is the quantum key distribution (QKD) over 250 km distance. This demonstration shows further possibilities for the improvement of the characteristics of quantum-cryptographic systems such as increasing the bit rate and the quantum channel length, and decreasing the quantum bit error rate (QBER). This improvement is possible because SSPDs have the best characteristics in comparison with other single-photon detectors. We have demonstrated the possibility of polarization state reconstruction and measurement over 302.5 km with superconducting single-photon detectors. The advantage of an autocompensating optical scheme, also known as “plugandplay” for quantum key distribution, is high stability in the presence of distortions along the line. To increase the distance of quantum key distribution with this optical scheme we implement the superconducting single photon detectors (SSPD). At the 5 MHz pulse repetition frequency and the average photon number equal to 0.4 we measured a 33 bit/s quantum key generation for a 101.7 km single mode ber quantum channel. The extremely low SSPD dark count rate allowed us to keep QBER at 1.6% level.

Abstract В рамках приближения сильной связи теоретически рассчитаны проводимости контактов вида нормальный металл/изолятор/одноорбитальный сверхпроводник с p-типом сверхпроводящего спаривания (N/I/Sp). Объяснено наблюдаемое экспериментально как появление пика при нулевом напряжении, так и его расщепление в зависимости от толщины слоя изолятора. В рамках этой же микроскопической теории развит вариант техники решеточной функции Грина в мацубаровом представлении. Используя разработанный подход, рассчитаны фазовые и температурные зависимости тока Джозефсона для контакта сверхпроводника s-типа и многозонного железосодержащего сверхпроводника (ферропниктида) для различных ориентаций границы по отношению к кристаллографическим осям пниктида.
