(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

Baselmans, J.J.A. (author), Baryshev, A. (author), Reker, S.F. (author), Hajenius, M. (author), Gao, J.R. (author), Klapwijk, T.M. (author), Voronov, B. (author), Gol'tsman, G. (author)We present a detailed experimental study of the direct detection effect in a small volume (0.15??m×1??m×3.5?nm) quasioptical NbN phonon cooled hot electron bolometer mixer at 673?GHz. We find that the small signal noise temperature, relevant for an astronomical observation, is 20% lower than the noise temperature obtained using 300 and 77?K...journal article 2006
