Photon noise limited radiation detection with lens-antenna coupled Microwave Kinetic Inductance Detectors (1107.4330v1)
Published 21 Jul 2011 in astro-ph.IM
Abstract: 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 noise and MKID intrinsic generation-recombination noise. Additionally we use the observed photon noise to measure the optical efficiency of detectors to be 0.8+-0.2.
