MKIDs for other applications

Oral Contribution

The Mazin Lab at UC Santa Barbara develops Thermal Kinetic Inductance Detectors (TKIDs) for X-ray imaging spectroscopy. I will present our recent progress developing TKIDs for X-ray imaging spectroscopy in the 0.5 to 20 keV band. TKIDs are optimized for X-ray detection by suspending their inductor and a separate X-ray absorber on a freestanding Si3N4 membrane and by operating them as...

MKIDs for other applications

Oral Contribution

The current bolometric experiments searching for rare events as neutrino-less double beta decay or dark matter interaction demand for cryogenic light detectors with high sensitivity, large active area and excellent scalability and radio-purity in order to reduce their background budget. The CALDER project aims to develop such kind of light detectors implementing phonon-mediated Kinetic...

13. General Purpose Terahertz Imaging Systems With Lumped Element KIDs

MKIDs for other applications

Oral Contribution

We are developing a terahertz imaging system based on arrays of lumped element kinetic inductance detectors (LEKIDs) for general purpose commercial/industrial applications. The recent demonstration of KID-Cam [1] has proven that this detector technology is suitable for deployment in a range of fields where high sensitivity, fast response, broad spectral coverage and low susceptibility to EMI...
