Gerecht, E., Musante, C. F., Zhuang, Y., Ji, M., Yngvesson, K. S., Goyette, T., et al. (2000). NbN hot electron bolometric mixer with intrinsic receiver noise temperature of less than five times the quantum noise limit. In Proc. IMS (Vol. 2, pp. 1007–1010).
Abstract: In recent years, improvements in device development and quasi-optical coupling techniques utilizing planar antennas have led to a significant achievement in low noise receivers for the edges of the submillimeter frequency regime. Hot electron bolometric (HEB) receivers made of thin superconducting films such as NbN have produced a viable option for instruments designed to measure the molecular spectra for astronomical applications as well as in remote sensing of the atmosphere in the THz regime. This paper describes an NbN HEB mixer with intrinsic DSB receiver noise temperature of at most five times the quantum noise limit at frequencies as high as 2.24 THz

Abstract: Frequencies of H2O pure rotational transitions from 0.5 to 5 THz have been measured with an accuracy of one part in 109 using a tunable far-infrared spectrometer. Measured frequencies of more than a hundred spectral lines provide an excellent wavelength and frequency calibration standard for the far infrared.
