(author), Klapwijk, T.M. (author)We present a physically consistent interpretation of the dc electrical properties of niobiumnitride (NbN)-based superconducting hot-electron bolometer mixers, using concepts of nonequilibrium superconductivity. Through this, we clarify what physical information can be extracted from the resistive transition and the dc current-voltage...journal article 2016

(author), Voronov, B.M. (author), Rodin, A. (author), Klapwijk, T.M. (author), Gol'tsman, G.N. (author)We report on design and characterization of a superconducting Hot Electron Bolometer Mixer integrated with a logarithmic spiral antenna for mid-IR range observations. The antenna parameters have been adjusted to achieve the ultimate performance at 10 ?m (30 THz) range where O3, NH3, CO2, CH4, N2O, . lines in the Earth’s atmosphere, in planetary...conference paper 2015

(author), Antipov, S. (author), Voronov, B. (author), Gol'tsman, G. (author)We measure 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 1.6?THz. We find that the small signal sensitivity of the receiver is underestimated by 35% due to the direct detection effect and that the optimal operating point is shifted to higher bias voltages when...journal article 2005
