Improving the energy resolution of photon counting microwave kinetic inductance detectors using principal component analysis
We develop a photon energy measurement scheme for single photon counting Microwave Kinetic Inductance Detectors (MKIDs) that uses principal component analysis (PCA) to measure the energy of an incident photon from the signal ("photon pulse") generated by the detector. PCA can be used to characterize a photon pulse using an …
