Garufo, A. (author), Sberna, P.M. (author), Carluccio, G. (author), Freeman, Joshua R. (author), Bacon, David R. (author), Li, Lianhe (author), Baselmans, J.J.A. (author), Llombart, Nuria (author), Neto, A. (author)A pulsed photoconductive terahertz (THz) source is presented that is able to radiate milliwatt (mW) level average power over a large bandwidth, by exploiting both the optical and electrical properties of photoconductive sources and the ultrawideband properties of connected antenna arrays. An optical system composed of a microlenses array...journal article 2019

Ferrari, Lorenza (author), Yurduseven, O. (author), Llombart, Nuria (author), Yates, Stephen J.C. (author), Bueno, Juan (author), Murugesan, Vignesh (author), Thoen, David (author), Endo, A. (author), Baryshev, AM (author), Baselmans, J.J.A. (author)Next generation sub-mm imaging instruments require kilo-pixel focal plane arrays filled with background limited detectors. Microwave kinetic inductance detectors (MKIDs) are a state-of-the-art detector for future instruments due to their inherent multiplexing capabilities. An MKID consists of a superconducting resonator coupled to a feed-line...journal article 2018

(author), Baselmans, J.J.A. (author)We present the design, fabrication, and full characterisation (sensitivity, beam pattern, and frequency response) of a background limited broadband antenna coupled kinetic inductance detector covering the frequency range from 1.4 to 2.8 THz. This device shows photon noise limited performance with a noise equivalent power of 2.5 × 10<sup>-19<...journal article 2017

Baselmans, J. (author), Yates, S. (author), Diener, P. (author), De Visser, P. (author)The next generation of far infrared radiation detectors is aimed to reach photon noise limited performance in space based observatories such as SPICA and BLISS. These detectors operate at loading powers of the astronomical signal of a few Attowatt (10?18 W) or less, corresponding to a sensitivity expressed in noise equivalent power as low as NEP...journal article 2012

(author)Microwave kinetic inductance detectors (MKIDs) have shown great potential for sub-mm instrumentation because of the high scalability of the technology. Here, we demonstrate for the first time in the sub-mm band (0.1–2 mm) a photon noise limited performance of a small antenna coupled MKID detector array and we describe the relation between photon...journal article 2011
