Fast Resonance Frequency Modulation in Superconducting Stripline Resonator
نویسندگان
چکیده
Fast resonance frequency modulation of a superconducting stripline resonator is investigated. The experiments are performed using a novel device which integrates a hot electron detector (HED) into a superconducting stripline ring resonator. Frequency modulation is demonstrated by both applying dc current or voltage to the HED, and by applying optical illumination, with modulation frequencies of up to 4.2GHz. Potential applications for such a device are in telecommunication, quantum cryptography and biofluorescence.

Extreme nonlinear phenomena in NbN superconducting stripline resonators
We study giant nonlinear phenomena that emerge near a bifurcation threshold (BT) in a microwave superconducting stripline resonator. Above the BT the system becomes astable and self-sustained modulation of the reflected power off the resonator occurs. The giant nonlinearity manifests itself in an extremely high intermodulation gain, accompanied by a very strong noise squeezing and period doubli...

We study theoretically and experimentally the response of a microwave superconducting stripline resonator, integrated with a microbridge, to a monochromatic injected signal. We find that there is a certain range of driving parameters in which a novel nonlinear phenomenon emerges, and self-sustained modulation of the reflected power off the resonator is generated by the resonator. A theoretical ...

We exploit nonlinearity in NbN superconducting stripline resonators, which originates from local thermal instability, for studying stochastic resonance. As the resonators are driven into instability, small amplitude modulation (AM) signals are amplified with the aid of injected white noise. Simulation results based on the equations of motion for the system yield a good agreement with the experi...

We study thermal instability in a driven superconducting NbN stripline resonator integrated with a microbridge. A monochromatic input drive is injected into the resonator and the response is measured as a function of the frequency and amplitude of the drive. Inside a certain zone of the frequency-amplitude plane the system has no steady state, and consequently selfsustained modulation of the re...

We present an approach to the induction detection of electron spin resonance (ESR) signals exploiting the nonlinear properties of a superconducting resonator. Our experiments employ a yttrium barium copper oxide superconducting stripline microwave (MW) resonator integrated with a microbridge.
