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 limi ...
Microwave kinetic inductance detectors (MKIDs) promise high sensitivity, combined with device simplicity and intrinsic multiplexibility. We demonstrate in this paper the realization of an imaging system consisting of an array of 961 antenna-coupled MKIDs that is read out using a

We show the first experimental results which prove that superconducting NbTiN coplanar–waveguide resonators can achieve a loaded Q factor in excess of 800 in the 350 GHz band. These resonators can be used as narrow band pass filters for on-chip filter bank spectrometers for astro

Microwave Kinetic Inductance Detectors (MKIDs) are becoming a very promising candidate for next generation imaging instruments for the far infrared. A MKID consists of a superconducting resonator coupled to a feed-line used for the readout. In the devices presented here radiation
