Design concept for a novel SQUID-based microdosemeter.
The interest in proton and ion-beam therapy has increased substantially in recent years, leading the Bureau International des Poids et Mesures to recommend that a new quantity be defined to account for the biological effect of treatment modalities used in the radiotherapy. In response, we have begun work on the design of a new microbolometer based on the inductive superconducting transition-edg...
متن کاملSingle microwave-photon detector using an artificial Λ-type three-level system
Single-photon detection is a requisite technique in quantum-optics experiments in both the optical and the microwave domains. However, the energy of microwave quanta are four to five orders of magnitude less than their optical counterpart, making the efficient detection of single microwave photons extremely challenging. Here we demonstrate the detection of a single microwave photon propagating ...
متن کاملGraphene microbolometers with superconducting contacts for terahertz photon detection
We report on noise and thermal conductance measurements taken in order to determine an upper bound on the performance of graphene as a terahertz photon detector. The main mechanism for sensitive terahertz detection in graphene is bolometric heating of the electron system. To study the properties of a device using this mechanism to detect terahertz photons, we perform Johnson noise thermometry m...
متن کاملProposal for a GHz Count Rate Near-IR Single-Photon Detector Based on a Nanoscale Superconducting Transition Edge Sensor
We describe a superconducting transition edge sensor based on a nanoscale niobium detector element. This device is predicted to be capable of energy-resolved near-IR single-photon detection with a GHz count rate. The increased speed and sensitivity of this device compared to traditional transition edge sensors result from the very small electronic heat capacity of the nanoscale detector element...

Single-photon imaging spectrometers of high quantum efficiency in the infrared to ultraviolet wavelength range, with good timing resolution and with a vanishing dark count rate are on top of the wish list in earth-bound astronomy, material and medical sciences, or quantum information technologies. We review and present improved operation of a cryogenic detector system potentially offering all t...
