Development of niobium nitride hot electron bolometric mixer for terahertz frequencies: The phonon-cooled version
NbN HEB mixers represent a promising approach for achieving receiver noise temperatures of a few times the quantum noise limit at frequencies above 1 THz. NbN HEB devices have been shown to have sufficient bandwidth for applications in astronomy, remote sensing, and plasma diagnostics in the FIR ran...
