Title Terahertz imaging system based on superconducting integrated receiver Type Conference Article
Year 2010 Publication Proc. 2-nd Int. Conf. Terahertz and Microwave radiation: Generation, Detection and Applications Abbreviated Journal Proc. 2-nd Int. Conf. Terahertz and Microwave radiation: Generation, Detection and Applications

Abstract The development of terahertz imaging instruments for security systems is on the cutting edge of terahertz technology. We are developing a THz imaging system based on a superconducting integrated receiver (SIR). An SIR is a new type of heterodyne receiver based on an SIS mixer integrated with a flux-flow oscillator (FFO) and a harmonic mixer which is used for phase-locking the FFO. Developing an array of SIRs would allow obtaining amplitude and phase characteristics of incident radiation in the plane of the receiver. Employing an SIR in an imaging system means building an entirely new instrument with many advantages compare to traditional systems: i) high temperature resolution, comparable to the best results for incoherent receivers; ii) high spectral resolution allowing spectral analysis of various substances; iii) the local oscillator frequency can be varied to obtain images at different frequencies, effectively providing “color” images; iv) since a heterodyne receiver preserves the phase of the radiation, it is possible to construct 3D images. The paper presents a prototype THz imaging system using an 1 pixel SIR. We have studied the dependence of the noise equivalent temperature difference (NETD) on the integration time and also possible ways of achieving best possible sensitivity. An NETD of 13 mK was obtained with an integration time of 1 sec a detection bandwidth of 4 GHz at a local oscillator frequency of 520 GHz. An important advantage of an FFO is its wide operation range: 300-700 GHz.

Title The stability of a terahertz receiver based on a superconducting integrated receiver Type Journal Article
Year 2011 Publication Supercond. Sci. Technol. Abbreviated Journal Supercond. Sci. Technol.
Volume 24 Issue 3 Pages 035003
Keywords SIS mixer, SIR, stability
Abstract We present the results of stability testing of a terahertz radiometer based on a superconducting receiver with a SIS tunnel junction as the mixer and a flux-flow oscillator as the local oscillator. In the continuum mode, the receiver with a noise temperature of 95 K at 510 GHz measured over the intermediate frequency (IF) passband of 4-8 GHz offered a noise equivalent temperature difference of 10 ± 1 mK at an integration time of 1 s. We offer a method to significantly increase the integration time without the use of complex measurement equipment. The receiver observed a strong signal over a final detection bandwidth of 4 GHz and offered an Allan time of 5 s.

Title Development of the experimental setup for investigation of latching of superconducting single-photon detector caused by blinding attack on the quantum key distribution system Type Conference Article
Year 2017 Publication EPJ Web of Conferences Abbreviated Journal EPJ Web of Conferences
Volume 132 Issue 2 Pages 2
Keywords
Abstract Recently bright-light control of the SSPD has been

demonstrated. This attack employed a “backdoor” in the detector biasing

scheme. Under bright-light illumination, SSPD becomes resistive and

remains “latched” in the resistive state even when the light is switched off.

While the SSPD is latched, Eve can simulate SSPD single-photon response

by sending strong light pulses, thus deceiving Bob. We developed the

experimental setup for investigation of a dependence on latching threshold

of SSPD on optical pulse length and peak power. By knowing latching

threshold it is possible to understand essential requirements for

development countermeasures against blinding attack on quantum key

distribution system with SSPDs.
