Kinetic inductance detector; Generation-recombination noise
We present measurements of quasiparticle generation-recombination noise in aluminium Microwave Kinetic Inductance Detectors, the fundamental noise source for these detectors. Both the quasiparticle lifetime and the number of quasiparticles can be determined from the noise spectra. The number of quasiparticles saturates to 10 mu m(-3) at temperatures below 160 mK, which is shown to limit the quasiparticle lifetime to 4 ms. These numbers lead to a generation-recombination noise limited noise equivalent power (NEP) of 1.5x10(-19) W/Hz(1/2). Since NEPaeN (qp) , lowering the number of remnant quasiparticles will be crucial to improve the sensitivity of these detectors. We show that the readout power now limits the number of quasiparticles and thereby the sensitivity.
