DOI: 10.1007/s10909-019-02161-2
Abstract: Microwave Kinetic Inductance Devices (MKIDs) are poised to allow for massively and natively multiplexed photon detectors arrays and are a natural choice for the next-generation CMB Stage 4 experiment which will require $$10^5$$105 detectors. In… read more here.

DOI: 10.1088/1361-6668/ad5b25
Abstract: We report on the experimental investigation of optical coupling for superconducting microresonators known as microwave kinetic inductance detectors (MKIDs) in the visible and near-infrared bands. MKIDs are photon-counting, time and energy-resolving detectors that still suffer… read more here.
