Title Superconducting NbN terahertz detectors and infrared photon counters Type Journal Article
Year 2010 Publication Вестник НГУ. Серия: физ. Abbreviated Journal Вестник НГУ. Серия: физ.
Volume 5 Issue (up) 4 Pages 68-72
Keywords HEB; HEB mixer
Abstract We present our recent achievements in the development of sensitive and ultrafast thin-film superconducting sensors: hot-electron bolometers (HEB), HEB-mixers for terahertz range and infrared single-photon counters. These sensors have already demonstrated a performance that makes them devices-of-choice for many terahertz and optical applications. Keywords: Hot electron bolometer mixers, infrared single-photon detectors, superconducting device fabrication, superconducting NbN films.

Title Low-noise wide-band hot-electron bolometer mixer based on an NbN film Type Journal Article
Year 2009 Publication Radiophys. Quant. Electron. Abbreviated Journal
Volume 52 Issue (up) 8 Pages 576-582
Keywords HEB mixer, in-situ contacts, noise temperature, conversion gain bandwidth, diffusion cooling channel
Abstract We develop and study a hot-electron bolometer mixer made of a two-layer NbN–Au film in situ deposited on a silicon substrate. The double-sideband noise temperature of the mixer is 750 K at a frequency of 2.5 THz. The conversion efficiency measurements show that at the superconducting transition temperature, the intermediate-frequency bandwidth amounts to about 6.5 GHz for a mixer 0.112 μm long. These record-breaking characteristics are attributed to the improved contacts between a sensitive element and a helical antenna and are reached due to using the in situ deposition of NbN and Au layers at certain stages of the process.
