  2. 1. NbN Hot Electron Bolometric Mixers for a Quasi--Optical THz Receiver

    Author : Matthias Kroug; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; bolometric mixer; superconducting NbN; heterodyne detection; hot electron effect; quasi-optical;

    Abstract : Experimental work on the development of a quasi-optical heterodyne receiver for the THz frequency range is reported. The mixing device is a superconducting hot electron bolometer (HEB) made from ultrathin, d = 3 - 5 nm, niobium nitride (NbN) films. READ MORE

    Abstract : The part of the electromagnetic spectrum between microwaves and infrared, also known as the terahertz band, is of particular interest for radio astronomy. The radiation intensity of the cold universe peaks at this frequency band, thus defining the demand on sensitive low-noise instruments in this particular frequency range. READ MORE
