Membraneless Phonon Trapping and Resolution Enhancement in Optical Microwave Kinetic Inductance Detectors
Microwave kinetic inductance detectors (MKIDs) sensitive to light in the ultraviolet to near-infrared wavelengths are superconducting microresonators that are capable of measuring photon arrival times to microsecond precision and estimating each photon's energy. The resolving power of nonmembrane MKIDs has remained stubbornly around 10 at 1 μm despite significant improvements …
