Irwin, K. D. (2006). Thermodynamics of nonlinear bolometers near equilibrium. In Proc. 11th International Workshop on Low Temp. Detectors (Vol. 559, pp. 718–720).
Abstract: We present the first thermodynamically correct calculation of the noise in a simple nonlinear resistive bolometer or calorimeter operated out of equilibrium. The solution is rigorous only for first- and second-order deviations from equilibrium, and for the linear and quadratic terms of dissipative elements. In contrast, existing models of noise in resistive bolometers are based on the application of equilibrium theories to a system that is often nonlinear and out of equilibrium. We derive solutions applicable both in and out of steady state. The noise has power spectral density different from the equilibrium theory, and it has higher-order correlations and non-Gaussian characteristics. The results do not apply to non-Markovian hidden variables in the bolometer.

Abstract: We have fabricated and tested superconducting single-photon detectors and demonstrated detection efficiencies of 57% at 1550-nm wavelength and 67% at 1064 nm. In addition to the peak detection efficiency, a median detection efficiency of 47.7% was measured over 132 devices at 1550 nm. These measurements were made at 1.8K, with each device biased to 97.5% of its critical current. The high detection efficiencies resulted from the addition of an optical cavity and anti-reflection coating to a nanowire photodetector, creating an integrated nanoelectrophotonic device with enhanced performance relative to the original device. Here, the testing apparatus and the fabrication process are presented. The detection efficiency of devices before and after the addition of optical elements is also reported.

Квазиоптические смесители терагерцового диапазона на основе эффекта разогрева электронов в тонких пленках NbN. In Proc. 16th Int. Crimean Microwave and Telecommunication Technology (Vol. 2, pp. 688–689).
Abstract: Представлены результаты измерения рактеристик смесителей на эффекте разогрева электронов в тонких сверхпроводниковых пленках NbN. Смесители были изготовлены на основе пленок NbN толщиной 2-3.5 нм осажденных на кремниевую подложку с буферным подсло- ем MgO. Смесительный элемент согласовывался с планар- ной логопериодической спиральной антенной. Лучшее зна- чение шумовой температуры приемника на основе NbN смесителя составило 1300 К и 3100 К на частотах гетеро- дина 2.5 TГц и 3.8 ТГц, соответственно. Максимальное зна- чение полосы преобразования, измеренной на частоте 900 |Ц, достигло значения 5.2 ГГц для смесителя изготовлен- ного из NbN пленки толщиной 2 нм. Оптимальная мощность Представлены результаты измерения ха- гетеродинного источника составила 1-3 мкВт для смесите- лей с различным объемом смесительного элемента.
