Title Optical mixing in a patterned YBa2Cu3O7-δ thin film Type Journal Article
Year 1994 Publication Appl. Phys. Lett. Abbreviated Journal Appl. Phys. Lett.
Volume 65 Issue 26 Pages 3398-3400
Keywords YBCO HTS HEB mixer, bandwidth
Abstract Mixing of 1.56 µm infrared radiation from two lasers in a high quality YBa2Cu3O7-δ thin film, patterned to parallel strips, was demonstrated. A mixer bandwidth of 18 GHz, limited by the measurement system, was obtained. A model based on nonequilibrium electron heating gives a good fit to the data and predicts an intrinsic mixer bandwidth in excess of 100 GHz, operating in the whole infrared spectrum. Reduction of bolometric effects and ways to decrease the conversion loss of the mixer is discussed. The minimum conversion loss is expected to be ~10 dB.

Title Broadband ultrafast superconducting NbN detector for electromagnetic radiation Type Journal Article
Year 1994 Publication J. Appl. Phys. Abbreviated Journal J. Appl. Phys.

Keywords NbN HEB
Abstract An ultrafast detector that is sensitive to radiation in a broad spectral range from submillimeter waves to visible light is reported. It consists of a structured NbN thin film cooled to a temperature below Tc (∼11 K). Using 20 ps pulses of a GaAs laser, we observed signal pulses with both rise and decay time of about 50 ps. From the analysis of a mixing experiment with submillimeter radiation we estimate an intrinsic response time of the detector of ∼12 ps. The sensitivity was found to be similar for the near‐infrared and submillimeter radiation. Broadband sensitivity and short response time are attributed to a quasiparticle heating effect.

Title Frequency measurement of pure rotational transitions of H2O from 0.5 to 5 THz Type Conference Article
Year 1994 Publication Conference on precision electromagnetic measurements digest Abbreviated Journal
Volume Issue Pages 23-24
Keywords
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.

Title Hot-electron superconducting mixers for 20-500 GHz operation Type Conference Article
Year 1994 Publication Proc. Int. Conf. on Millimeter and Submillimeter Waves and Appl. Abbreviated Journal
Volume 2250 Issue 4D Pages 276-278
Keywords
Abstract Bolometdcmucers based on Nb and NbN superconducting thin films in the resistive state have been prepared for 20, 100 GHz and 350-500 GHz operation. The mixing mechanism is presumably of electron heating origin. Our measurements indicate that a conversion loss of about 6-8 dB can rather easily be achieved, and that the noise is reasonably low. The requirements on the operation mode and on the film parameters in order to obtain small conversion losses or even gain are discussed. For NbN films the availability of nearly 1 GHz IF bandwidth is experimentally demonstrated. NbN hot-electron mucers combined with slot-line tapered antenna on Si membrane or with double-dipole antenna on SiO^ substrate have been fabricated. The devices we study are considered to be very promising for use in heterodyne receivers from microwaves to terahertz frequencies.
