Three-wave mixing traveling-wave parametric amplifier with periodic variation of the circuit parameters

چکیده
We report on the implementation of a near-quantum-limited, traveling-wave parametric amplifier that uses three-wave mixing (3WM). To favor amplification by 3WM, we use superconducting nonlinear asymmetric inductive element (SNAIL) loops, biased with dc magnetic flux. In addition, equip device dispersion engineering features to create stopband at second harmonic pump and suppress propagation higher harmonics otherwise degrade amplification. With chain 440 SNAILs, provides up 20 dB gain 3-dB bandwidth 1 GHz. The added noise is found be less than one photon.

Gyro-Traveling Wave Amplifier
The theory, design and experimental results of a wideband 140 GHz, 1 kW pulsed gyro-traveling wave amplifier are presented. The gyro-TWA operates in the HE(0,6) mode of an overmoded quasi-optical waveguide using a gyrating electron beam. The electromagnetic theory, interaction theory, design processes and experimental procedures are described in detail. At 37.7 kV and 2.7 A beam current, the ex...
متن کاملQuantum wideband traveling-wave analysis of a degenerate parametric amplifier
We develop a wideband traveling-wave formalism for analyzing quantum mechanically a degenerate parametric amplifier. The formalism is based on spatial differential equations-spatial Langevin equations-that propagate temporal Fourier components of the field operators through the nonlinear medium. In addition to the parametric nonlinearity, the Langevin equations include absorption and associated...
متن کاملA near-quantum-limited Josephson traveling-wave parametric amplifier.
Detecting single-photon level signals—carriers of both classical and quantum information—is particularly challenging for low-energy microwave frequency excitations. Here we introduce a superconducting amplifier based on a Josephson junction transmission line. Unlike current standing-wave parametric amplifiers, this traveling wave architecture robustly achieves high gain over a bandwidth of seve...

We report the experimental demonstration of a gyrotron traveling-wave-tube amplifier at 250 GHz that uses a photonic band gap (PBG) interaction circuit. The gyrotron amplifier achieved a peak small signal gain of 38 dB and 45 W output power at 247.7 GHz with an instantaneous -3 dB bandwidth of 0.4 GHz. The amplifier can be tuned for operation from 245-256 GHz. The widest instantaneous -3 dB b...
